Grants.gov
NEW GRANTS.GOV WEB SITE OFFERS ONE-STOP SHOPPING
FOR INFORMATION ON APPLYING FOR ALL FEDERAL GRANTS
Site Supports President's E-Gov Initiative By Improving Grant Application
Process
HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today unveiled a single, comprehensive Web
site that will contain information about finding and applying for all
federal grant programs.
The Web site, Grants.gov, makes it easier for organizations to learn about
and apply for federal grants. Its launch marks an important milestone in
President Bush's Electronic Government (E-Gov) Initiative.
"For the first time, there will be a single government-wide source for
information about grants programs across the federal government," Secretary
Thompson said. "By putting relevant information in one place, we're helping
to level the playing field for organizations less familiar with federal
grant programs so that they too can identify and apply for appropriate
grants."
Grants.gov is a key element of President Bush's E-Gov initiative, which aims
at harnessing Internet-based technology to make it easy for citizens and
businesses to interact with the government, save taxpayer dollars and
streamline citizen-to-government communications.
The White House Office for Management and Budget named HHS as the lead
agency for this Grants.gov initiative. HHS awards more than half of all the
competitive grants across the federal government.
"President Bush has made it a priority for his administration to provide
government information and applications in ways that are more accessible and
easier to understand," OMB Director Joshua Bolten said. "Grants.gov is a
strong step forward in that effort, as it makes the federal grant-making
process simpler and more efficient for applicants. The launch of this
important Web site is a milestone in progress on the President's Management
Agenda."
HHS led the development of the cross-agency Web site, which now has
information about more than 800 available grant programs involving all 26
federal grant-making agencies. These agencies together award more than $360
billion in grant funds. The site provides information in a standardized
format across agencies and includes a "Find Grant Opportunities" feature to
help applicants find potential funding opportunities.
The site also contains an "Apply for Grants" feature that greatly simplifies
the application process by allowing applicants to download, complete and
submit applications for specific grant opportunities from any federal
grant-making agency.
The site has been developed with extensive input from organizations that
apply for and receive federal grants to maximize its potential to simplify
the process and meet the needs of the grant community.
Grants.gov is a collaborative effort involving HHS and the Departments of
Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Homeland Security, Housing and
Urban Development, Justice, Labor and Transportation, as well as the
National Science Foundation.
More information about Grants.gov is available at
http://www.grants.gov.

Ms. Foundation for Women Accepting Proposals for Woman
and AIDS Fund
Established in 1972, the Ms. Foundation for Women supports
women's organizing efforts for economic empowerment,
safety, reproductive rights, increasing resources for
women with HIV/AIDS, and improving the lives of girls. The
foundation aims to support the development of a strong
grassroots movement for HIV-positive women through its
Women and AIDS Fund (WAF).
The Fund seeks to support community-based organizations
that work to support and strengthen the voices of HIV-
positive women involved in determining policy and planning
services to meet their needs. The leadership of the speci-
fic project must be substantially comprised of women with
HIV/AIDS and must reflect and be grounded in the community
in which it works. Organizations that cannot demonstrate
significant participation of women with HIV/AIDS at all
levels of organizational leadership will not be considered
for funding. The Fund will only support those projects
whose primary emphasis is on advocacy.
The Fund provides three-year general operating and
project-specific grants of $30,000 ($10,000 per year).
Once selected, WAF grantees must participate in an annual
convening and take part in technical assistance opportuni-
ties throughout the grant period.
The Fund makes grants to groups working in the U.S.
and Puerto Rico. Priority will be given to independent,
women-focused organizations and programs. Start-up projects
in organizations that have no track record in women and
AIDS will not be considered.
See the Ms. Foundation for Women Web site for complete
program and application guidelines.

GuideStar also provides a complete picture of nonprofits. Although GuideStar
displays a nonprofit's IRS Form 990 or Business Master File (BMF), it allows the
nonprofit to define its mission, goals and accomplishments. Nonprofits can
update or add to their information throughout the year.
According to GuideStar, they also increase the chances that donors will find
your organization. They ensure that nonprofits that have provided information to
GuideStar appear first in the search results. Nonprofits can also use words or
phrases in their GuideStar page that will ensure that donors find the nonprofit
when doing a keyword search.
Nonprofits should also take advantage of
GuideStar's free services by posting online their newsletters, press releases,
and classified ads for contributions, in-kind donations, staff and volunteers.
Nonprofits can also use GuideStar to find web development volunteers and can
receive GuideStar's monthly e-newsletter, if they have an e-mail address.
