Grants for Nonprofits in Missouri
Missouri has no central grants list. The Department of Natural Resources announces open application periods for its grant programs, the Department of Public Safety runs a WebGrants site for its justice and safety funding, and GrantCue reads both, along with Missouri Humanities and Kansas City's funding programs.
The Missouri Arts Council spells out what must be in place before an application: a nonprofit must be registered with the Missouri Secretary of State and should hold 501(c)(3) status, every applicant needs a Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov, and organizations above a set budget size need an audit, which can be completed after applying and before funds are paid.
