A NOFA is simply an announcement that grant funding is available and signals an opportunity for interested and qualified people to apply to receive funding. Funding typically has specific criteria applicants must meet for their program or service to qualify for the available funding.

Funding is made available when it is released by Federal, State or Local governments. Funding opportunities vary, so it is a good idea to check the page somewhat frequently or sign up for our page watch.

Organizations or professionals whose business and expertise meets the criteria of the funding opportunity. We encourage anyone to apply that believes their program or service qualifies for funding.
