Find Funding Opportunities
View upcoming forecasted funding opportunities at Grants.GovVisit disclaimer page.
A forecast is a planned funding opportunity that contains actual or estimated dates and funding levels for grants that an agency intends to award during the fiscal year. Forecast opportunities are subject to change based on enactment of congressional appropriations.
Forecasts for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) can be found on Grants.GovVisit disclaimer page, a centralized database of planned grant opportunities proposed by Federal agencies. Each forecasted funding opportunity contains:
- actual or estimated application and award dates
- estimated funding levels
- a list of eligible entities, and
- a description of the purpose and goals of the planned grant.
When funding is available and an agency is ready to accept applications, the agency will issue an official notice, known as a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), which will be available on Grants.govVisit disclaimer page. The FOA provides guidance on how to receive an application kit and instructions on how to apply.

Synopses of all competitive ACF FOAs are posted at Grants.gov — the same place you will go to submit your application. As ACF’s FOAs are announced, the full FOAs are posted on ACF’s website.
You can search by funding opportunity number, category, agency, or other criteria. If you are looking for a specific opportunity, searching by the funding opportunity number is the fastest way to find it (or go to ACF's Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) page and follow the link to the synopsis and application package at Grants.gov).
If you do not have a specific funding opportunity in mind you may familiarize yourself with the various ACF programs. Some ACF programs provide free technical assistance to potential applicants — please see the program’s website for more information.
