Where should I refer people looking for grants to individuals?
Candid does not give grants/donations, suggest specific funders, or approach them on your behalf. More about Candid’s mission. Please refer to the tips and websites in this article.
Most foundation funding is awarded to nonprofit organizations, not to individual grantseekers. However, Candid has gathered resources for individual grantseekers, including the tools and web sites..
Our Candid Learning website features various articles in the Knowledge Base that could be useful to you and your applicants:
- How can I find funding for seniors, veterans, or people with disabilities?
- Where can I find funding for an invention or patent?
- How can I get funding for my personal project?
- How can we raise money for a person or family in need?
- Where can I find help with emergency housing costs?
- How can I recognize and avoid grant or scholarship scams?
- How do I write a grant proposal for my individual project? Where can I find samples?
In addition, we have separate articles for artists and students.
Grants to Individuals is our searchable database of grantmakers that give to individuals. It is available by subscription, or to use for free at our Funding Information Network locations.
Please visit Candid's Knowledge Services for useful tools and resources exclusively for grantmakers.
