| Resources and Links for Grants |
The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office website is one of the most important sources of funding and offers invaluable resource information. The website includes available grants, proposal guidelines, a vast collection of data, as well as professional/career development, and a list of approved programs. |
The Federal Student Aid website provides financial aid information and required forms for filing the FAFSA. If students are eligible for financial aid, this is the site. Deadlines, applications, and additional links provide students with everything needed for financing their education. |
If you are up to the challenge of applying for a federal grant, check out the comprehensive website simply named grants.gov. The website provides grant opportunities, applications and deadlines, and other links to additional resources. |
The Department of Education establishes policies on federal financial aid for education, collects data and disseminates research, and provides a forum for key issues in education. The website is quite a resource for project development addressing current issues in education which is fundamental to developing grant proposals. The Foundation Center supports a world enriched by the effective allocation of philanthropic resources, informed public discourse about philanthropy, and broad understanding of the contributions of nonprofit activity to civil society. It is the perfect place to start for researching funding support from foundations and grantors, and also understanding the culture of philanthropy. Fortunately, San Francisco has a local center located at 312 Sutter Street, suite 606. The Center houses a library, offers courses, and events that support non-profit and foundation activities.
