Finding the right funding opportunities can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Results for America’s new Federal Grant Opportunities Hub cuts through the noise, offering a centralized, curated, and frequently-updated list of relevant federal grants, so communities can more quickly access resources to improve outcomes, from early education to career readiness.
The Hub features these free resources:
• Federal Grant Opportunities Dashboard: A centralized, searchable database of economic mobility-focused grant opportunities, designed to help you easily browse, plan and apply.
• Federal Grant Opportunities Newsletter: Every two weeks, Results for America and StriveTogether send a curated newsletter of relevant federal funding opportunities. Now, you can access the full archive in one place, and subscribe to receive it directly in your inbox.

Federal Grant Opportunities Dashboard
The Dashboard brings together key grant program data into one place, offering a searchable database of all open and closed opportunities featured in the newsletter. In addition, Results for America has conducted additional research and coding of each grant opportunity to enable users to do all of the following:
- Filter fields to adjust your search by agency, number of awards and funding amounts.
- Align opportunities to strategies in Results for America’s Economic Mobility Catalog or interventions that support certain outcomes like third-grade reading or postsecondary completion.
- Access links to applicable Grant Program webpages and downloadable NOFOs, when available.
