California Grants Portal

Lorraine Mabbett Editor

Are all of the state’s grants on the California Grants Portal?
No. The Grants Portal only hosts state grants that are offered on a competitive or first-come basis. Some grants may not be offered on a competitive or first-come basis, and those grants are not listed on this website.
Can I apply for a grant through the California Grants Portal?
No. The Grants Portal hosts information about grant opportunities offered by different state agencies. You can find information about how to apply for each grant on the Grants Portal, but grantseekers must apply through the grantmaking agency’s own application processes.
Can I also find the same grant on the website of the state agency offering the grant?
Yes. When viewing a grant opportunity through the Grants Portal, you’ll see in the “Resources” box a link to the agency’s website as well as a link for more details about the grant, which will be hosted on the agency’s website as well.
The Grant Information Act of 2018 (Stats. 2018, Ch. 318) required the State Library to build one website by July 1, 2020, “that provides a centralized location … to find state grant opportunities.”
Which agency has the most grants?
We are collecting and making available statistical information about grants and you can view the statistics page to find more information. Since the Grants Portal is still very new, we do not yet have complete data to answer this question.
