Understanding Types of Grants
                 If you're in charge of
                 seeking funding for a
                 nonprofit, it's important for
                 you to be aware that there
                 are several different types
                 of grants from various
                 funding sources. When you
                 apply for grant funding, it's
                 important to understand the
                 intent of the grant program
                 so you can ensure that your
                 application makes a clear
                 case for why your request
                 should be approved.
Project or Program Grants
              Funds that are granted to support a
              particular activity of a nonprofit
              organization are referred to as
              project or program grants. These
              types of grants provide money that
              is earmarked to cover expenses
              associated with specific activities
              carried out by a charitable entity.
General Purpose Grants
             Some grant programs offer
             general purpose financial
             support, providing monies that
             can be used as the funded
             organization sees fit. If you are
             fortunate enough to receive this
             type of grant, you'll be able to
             utilize the funds for operating
             expenses, programs, projects,
             planning, or to meet any other
             need that the entity you
             represent may have.
Start Up Grant
         If you are looking into the
         possibility of starting a new
         charitable organization, you'll
         want to apply for start-up
         grant funding. These types of
         grants provide what is often
         referred to as "seed money"
         designed to help a new entity
         get started. Funds may be
         provided for a year of
         activities or through other
         grant programs.
Facilities and Equipment
         Funding
              Some types of grants provide
              support specifically to enable
              charitable organizations to build
              and maintain the facilities
              necessary to provide programs
              and services, as well as to
              purchase needed equipment. For
              example, these types of grants
              might cover all or part of the
              expenses for constructing a new
              building or purchase equipment
              to outfit a computer lab for an
              after school program.
Planning Grant Funding
             Planning grants provide funds
             to support the initial research
             efforts necessary to establish a
             new program. If you're going to
             apply for this type of grant,
             you'll need to be able to make a
             strong case for why the
             program you are trying to
             establish is necessary.
Technical Assistance Grants
               Grants classified as technical
               assistance funding provide
               grant money to support the
               administrative functions of a
               nonprofit organization. The
               funds aren't used for a
               particular program or
               project, but are rather
               provided to cover the
               overhead expenses
               associated with running the
               entity, including marketing
               and financial management.
