Grants for Nonprofits in the District of Columbia
The District of Columbia has one official listing. The Mayor's Office on Volunteerism and Partnerships (Serve DC) is the electronic clearinghouse for all District government grant notices, and each notice is posted with its application packet and submission deadline.
GrantCue reads the clearinghouse and the grant pages of the Department of Behavioral Health, the Department of Employment Services, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development and the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants. Serve DC also sends a free Funding Alert listing grant opportunities and resources for community-based and faith-based nonprofits; sign-up is on the same page as the clearinghouse.
