Information Sources
Federal Register
Published by the U.S. government every weekday except holidays, the Federal Register contains notices of funding opportunities, including grants and cooperative agreements. Subscriptions to the Federal Register are expensive, and small criminal justice agencies may find it difficult or impossible to justify the cost; nevertheless, access to the information it contains is critical for the criminal justice grant seeker.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
This huge catalog contains a description of every grant program offered by the U.S. government. Although it’s not a resource that most grant seekers would need to consult daily, leafing through it gives the reader a feel for the many grant opportunities available at the federal level. It also contains the catalog numbers that must be present on federal grant applications to identify the precise program applied for it. Most grant seekers will not want to purchase the catalog. Because many libraries will have a copy, it makes more sense to use one there.

The Foundation Directory
The Foundation Directory, a rather hefty volume published by the Foundation Center in New York, offers detailed information about private foundations having assets greater than $2 million or distributing $200,000 or more annually. In addition to listing the foundation’s giving priorities, which is crucial for the criminal justice grant seeker to know, the Foundation Directory also includes the foundation’s address, contact person, date of establishment, donors, financial data, purpose and activities, fields of interest, types of support, application information, and recent grants. This is another book that most criminal justice grant seekers will want to use in the library.

Criminal Justice Funding Report
A biweekly publication, the Criminal Justice Funding Report contains information on both federal and private grants of interest to criminal justice professionals. In addition to detailed data on criminal justice funding opportunities, the report the report also features “Policy News” and a “Legislative Update.” One word of caution about newsletters and sources of grants information: Seldom, if at all, can a newsletter transmit grants information to potential applicants as quickly as do the Federal Register and the Internet. Although these newsletters contain useful information, in many cases applicants already have lost valuable time by the time they learn of the funding opportunity.

Foundation Center
A valuable source of funding information, the Foundation Center is a nonprofit organization that was established in 1956 to assist grant-awarding organizations and grant seekers by making available a wide variety of material on private grants. The Foundation Center meets its mission by providing a number of useful reference works on foundations and related matters. Its home page offers links to a number of private foundations and permits the grant seeker to search for relevant foundations by subject of geography.
