If you contact the Senator's State Office nearest you and describe your project, we will search federal programs and provide you with information about potential federal sources of funds. In addition, Senator Collins may also be able to write letters in support of your application. You can search all the federal funding sources using the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. You can also get details of federal programs from the web sites of individual agencies. The federal government is only one source of support.
Many projects can also find support from a private foundation or from a corporation.
An excellent source for information about private grant support and guidance in preparing proposals can be found at the Maine Grants Information Center.
