Federal Grant Discovery Tool –Registration Has Begun

Join us in celebrating the launch of the forward-thinking, innovative Federal Grant Discovery Tool in coordination with our partner U.S. Digital Response (USDR). The Governor’s Office of Federal Assistance and USDR are working together to provide users with the ability to search for grants with ease and efficiency, along with expanding opportunities for collaboration with other grant seekers. Our efforts to offer this FREE federal grant discovery tool statewide is the first in the Nation. Interested in moving your grant discovery to the next phase? Go to our website to take that first step!

Submit Notice of Funding Opportunity Today

The NOFO form, or Notice of Funding Opportunity Form, is an easy way for organizations and agencies across Nevada to input details of their funding opportunity and have it shared out to the rest of the state. If you are a state agency with pass-through funding and available subawards, submit the subaward opportunity by filling out the NOFO form on our website. You will be asked for information such as:

Unique Entity Identifier
Your Agency
Grant/Funding Opportunity Name
Project Category
Who is Eligible to Apply
Application Link
Brief Description
Opportunity Close Date

Once submitted and reviewed the subaward opportunity will be listed on our Grants Opportunities page.
By adding these opportunities to the database and making them easily viewable and sortable to all eligible entities, OFA helps to ensure that no federal funding is left unused.
If you manage state funded awards or foundation funded awards the process is the same. Please fill out the details of the funding opportunity to the NOFO form on our website.
