Who are grants for?

Although grants sometimes benefit individuals, they are primarily awarded to nonprofit organizations seeking financial support for research and related activities in specific subject areas or fields. While there are a variety of possibilities for fund recipients, the following list shows some of the types of organizations that grants assist:

• Community revitalization
• Education
• Health and human services
• Technology
• Sports

Examples of programs that would be very likely to be awarded grant funding would be those that improve the standard of living for low-income families or the levels of education from preschool to graduate.
