Abstract
Grants play an important part in the Human Service Fields. Human Service departments would not exist without funding. There are only so many funds that can be raised by fund raisers and community charity. A grant is needed to assure proper funding needs are met. Grants In Human Services
Grants are so important to the Human Service Departments because many neighborhoods depend on the Human Service agencies. Grants are provided by state government, local authorities, state funding and agency supports. It is essential to find funding to meet the financial needs of an agency. When an agency is trying to create a program to help the community with their needs there seems to never be enough
monies to assist the people of the community. With the funds granted from Local and State grants there may be enough monies to form a successful organization. A grant is a sum of money given to an agency to address a problem in the community. The grant may be issued after a request for proposal is approved. It is not a guarantee that the organization is going to receive monies after submitting the proposal for grant funding. The grant funding is usually awarded to start new programs, not to refine old programs. Most grants are a onetime award to start an organization into the right direction. At the end of the first fiscal year the grant may be adjusted or re-negotiated to adjust with the actual costs. Grants have requirements that the organization must meet if they are to be eligible for monies. As long as the organization follows the guidelines of state or local grants they have a great shot and being funded. It is important to submit the proper proposal that outlines the exact requirements. It does seem like a long process but will be worth it in the end if monies are rewarded and an organization is formed to help a community.
