Congresswoman DeLauro's New Haven office can help community groups, qualified nonprofit and other types of organizations in the Third District of Connecticut apply for and receive federal grants to assist in their efforts.  Federal funding plays an essential role in providing law enforcement, opportunities for economic growth, community development, educational support, and health care to Connecticut.

A good place to start is the http://www.grants.gov gives information on current funding opportunities from federal grant-making agencies, providing  access to over 900 grant programs of the United States government through its 26 federal grant-making agencies. Users can register on this site to receive, via e-mail, notices of funding opportunities as soon as they are announced.

The links here provide further information and resources of potential grant sources

Please do not hesitate to contact Amanda Freund, Congresswoman DeLauro's grants coordinator, with any questions or concerns at (203) 562-3718.

Additionally, you may find helpful information from the Connecticut Council for Philanthropy; an association of grant-makers committed to promoting and supporting effective philanthropy specifically for Connecticut.
