Federal Stimulus FAQs

In an ongoing effort to provide up-to-date information about federal stimulus funding, MNA has launched a Frequently Asked Questions page on our website with a host of questions and answers about the stimulus dollars as they relate to nonprofits. A few examples of the FAQs include:

• Where do I find a list of available competitive grants? 
• Where do I find instructions for applying for competitive grants?
• How often are new competitive grants being announced?
• If I apply for a competitive grant, how long will it take to find out if my grant application will be funded?
• What funding is available for health clinics?
• What funding is available for after-school programs?
• What funding is available for arts & culture groups?
• What funding is available for housing?
• What funding is available for workforce development?
• Once an application has been approved for funding, how are the monies flowing to the recipient organization?
• Do competitive grants require local match dollars?

Check out the answers to these questions and more on our website at www.mnaonline.org/stimulusFAQ.asp.
