GUIDE TO FEDERAL GRANTS - There is individual coverage of hundreds of federal agencies and departments, along with tips and resources for grant proposal writing. The depth and breadth of the coverage of federal grants and small business programs is truly awesome. We go far beyond just the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (with its nearly 17,000 pages of loans, grants, surplus equipment, and training from 1883 agency and department programs worth $300 billion). There are over 70 unique sections devoted to specific agencies or topics. Fifteen types of assistance: Formula Grants, Project Grants, Direct Payments for Specified Use, Direct Payments with Unrestricted Use, Direct Loans, Guaranteed and Insured Loans, Insurance, Sale/Exchange/Donation of Property and Goods, Use of Property, Facilities, and Equipment, Advisory Services and Counseling, Dissemination of Technical Information, Training, Investigation of Complaints, and Federal Employment. Categories of service include: Agriculture, Arts, Business and Commerce, Community Development, Consumer Protection, Disaster Prevention / Relief, Education, Employment, Labor, Training, Energy, Environmental Quality, Food and Nutrition, Health, Housing, Humanities, Information and Statistics, Law/Justice/Legal Services, Natural Resources, Regional Development, Science and Technology, Social Services and Income Security, and Transportation. Our reproduction of the CFDA alone would be substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!"
