GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Grants.gov – Provides a common website for federal agencies to post discretionary funding opportunities and for grantees to find and apply to them. The Grants.gov system houses information on over 1,000 grant programs and vets grant applications for federal grant making agencies.
Using the Grants.gov system makes it faster, easier and more cost effective for grant applicants to electronically interact with federal grant-making agencies. It also provides the following key benefits, among many others, to the grant community:
- Helping the grant community learn more about available opportunities;
- Facilitating interaction with the federal government;
- Simplifying the grant application process to save applicants costs, time and hassle;
- Making it easier to research and find federal grant opportunities;
- Making electronic grant application processing easier; and
- Providing a secure and reliable source to apply for federal grants.
NYS Grants Gateway - If interested in New York State funding, we recommend you visit the NYS Grants Gateway. This online portal is available to the public, providing one- stop shopping for anyone interested in locating grant funding opportunities with State agencies. The New York State Grants Gateway serves as the primary outlet for State agencies to post upcoming and available funding opportunities. The Gateway went live on May 15th, 2013 and all opportunities can be found in the Grant Opportunity Portal. The Portal offers a simple way to search for available and anticipated grant opportunities, download grant opportunities, and register to receive email notifications when specific types of grant opportunities are posted.
Important to note that many State agencies are transitioning to the NYS Grants Gateway System when applying for State funded programs; and if awarded funding, for award agreement / contract execution.
System for Award Management (SAM) - The official website of the U.S. government. You must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the Federal Government. SAM Registration is required in order to apply for funding and / or when entering into contracts with the Federal Government. There is no cost to use SAM. You can use SAM for FREE to:
• Register to do business with the U.S. government
• Update or renew your entity registration
• Check status of an entity registration
• Search for entity registration and exclusion records
• And much more
Unique Entity Identity Number (formerly the Dun & Bradstreet / Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number) - The Unique Entity ID is the official identifier for doing business with the U.S. Government as of April 4, 2022. Entities registering in SAM.gov are assigned a Unique Entity ID as a part of the registration process.
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's Grants Page – The Senator offers links and information to a variety of federal sources.
US Census Bureau / County of Sullivan Statistical Data – The US Census Bureau's mission is to serve as the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy.
