Question/Topic: I'm looking for information on funding sources (private and government) and for instructions on writing grant proposals . 
Answer/Pointer: There are a number of resources that list government and foundation grants, as well as books on writing grant proposals. Check with your local public library to see what it has on these topics. State programs that provide assistance to non-state entities are listed in the Catalog of State Financial Assistance available at this Web address: http://sun6.dms.state.fl.us/fsaa/catalog.htm There is a Directory of Florida State Grant Programs published by Florida Funding Resources, a John L. Adams Co., that lists state government grants. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance lists federal programs that provide assistance and has a section on grant writing. http://www.cfda.gov/ There are some federal grants listed at these Web sites: Notice of Funding Availability http://ocd.usda.gov/nofa.htm U.S. Department of Education Grants http://ocfo.ed.gov/gmtinfo.htm Foundation Center Links to Government Grants http://fdncenter.org/onlib/govt.html Non-Profit Gateway http://www.nonprofit.gov/resource/support.html The Foundation Directory lists private foundations that make grants in different areas.
