To reduce the burden of the extra volume resulting from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act, select programs other than Grants.gov have been
temporarily authorized to process grant applications. The following agencies
will be accepting some or all applications: Corporation for National and
Community Service; Department of Defense; Department of Education; Department
of Energy; Department of Housing and Urban Development; Department of
Justice; Department of Treasury; Department of Transportation; Department of
Homeland Security; the National Science Foundation; EPA; and NASA. If you
apply for a grant through one of these agencies, the Grants.gov Contact
Center will not be able
to address questions or issues relating to the grant; you will need to contact
the agency official specified in the grant.
If you're interested in finding loans or benefits that you might be eligible
for visit GovLoans.gov. The
site will help you determine the loans that may be right for you, and where
to find more information about them. You can also visit GovBenefits.gov, which
has a screening tool to help you find government benefits that you may be
eligible for, and how to apply for those programs.
A large portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding will go
to states, territories and tribes, which will in turn distribute funds
through grants, contracts, subsidies, loan programs, etc. Be sure to check
the list of State
Recovery sites for a link to your state and its programs.
