Open and forecast funding opportunities

Pulled from grants.gov on October 29, 2026: 173 open or forecast opportunities from the funders we follow, soonest deadline first. Each card links to the official record, which is the only reliable source. Forecasts have no announcement yet, and dates can change.

See one you are applying for? We are a mixed-methods evaluation practice, and we will write the evaluation plan and logic model with you at no charge.

Not every opportunity requires an evaluation. Where one is not required, a sound evaluation plan can still strengthen an application, because it shows reviewers how you will know the work succeeded. Evaluation notes are our short summary of the announcement or of the funder’s recent announcements; always check the official text.
