The most common solicitation method is the Request for Applications. A Request for Application (RFA) is a formal document used by funding agencies (often government or non-profit) to solicit proposals for specific projects or initiatives. RFAs may be competitive (scored) or issued on a first come, first served basis once the minimum qualifications have been met.
Competitive Grants
Each RFA will have its own eligibility requirements. Generally, an applicant must be a governmental entity, a nonprofit organization, or a for-profit organization. Explore open and past RFAs opportunities at the listed websites.
