GRANTS, WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
PRIVATE
At present approximately 86,192 foundations are functioning nationwide, with a total of $715,000,000,000 in assets. In addition thousands of corporations and individual philanthropist contribute to projects yearly. Conservative estimates place the amount of funds provided by private sources in excess of $52,000,000,000 annually. Figures acquired from The Foundation Center 2014 Report. Public law requires that foundations contribute on a yearly basis. One of the most serious problems confronted by foundations is the low quality of the proposals that are received.
PUBLIC
There are nearly 1,500 major federal and state funding sources. Comprehensive information and weekly updates concerning federal funding sources are available through local congressional offices. Public funding is allocated in every state. It is anticipated that over $150 billion in federal contracts and cooperative agreements will be awarded this fiscal year. Nearly $100 billion in federal and state grants will be awarded during this fiscal year
