Grants for nonprofits by state
Questions
When do nonprofit grants close?
The next deadline is October 21, 2026 for BJA FY 2026 Tribal Justice Training and Technical Assistance Program. 14 programs take applications at any time.
Does a nonprofit need 501(c)(3) status to get grants?
For most private and corporate grants, yes. Some government programs also accept other nonprofits, and a group without status can apply through a fiscal sponsor that has it.
What do funders ask for in a grant application?
Usually your mission, the project and who it serves, a budget, your IRS determination letter, recent financial statements and a list of board members. Many federal grants also need a SAM.gov registration.
Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?
No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
