Discussion 1 (Sarah) Private grants are set up by families, individuals, or groups who desire to fund charitable

organizations and projects (Scott, 2023). There are three types of private grants: program-specific, capital, and general support.

• Program-specific grants fund organizations that focus on a single population or societal problem that the foundation wants to support. These things can include homelessness, family hunger, at-risk youth, and more. The goal is to control the funding and support that can be given to that specific program.

• Capital grants fund projects that go to build a new building for an organization or update an older building. Usually, these funds are donated with a group of grants or donors instead of funding the whole project, and because of this, the organization receiving funds will likely have to provide extensive financial documents and assurances that this project has support from other donors, board members, and the community. These grants aim to support the program with physical space that meets the organization's needs.

• General support grants donate grant funds to organizations with similar visions and goals. These types of foundations might aim to fund projects for children, so they are likely to donate to school projects, reading literacy programs, education support, etc. The goals of support grants are more general and provide funding for many organizations that align with the population or vision of the foundation.

Government grants are given to local organizations from the federal, state, county, or other local governments (Grant Programs, n.d.). Three types of government grants include formula grants, congressionally directed awards, and discretionary grants.

• Formula grants are funds awarded through application but are often not competitive (Grants 101: Types of funding, 2020). These funds are typically administered by government agencies and are overseen by congressional statutes or appropriations acts that specify eligibility. Formula grants are for a specific issue or purpose, such as housing for homelessness.

• Congressionally Directed Awards direct funds to be given to a specific project or exemptions from fees and taxes. These awards do not provide additional governmental spending but decide approved funds for a specific purpose. These funds allow Congress members to request funds for projects in their states.

• Discretionary Grands are funds given directly by the Office of Justice. These competitive grants go through review to make certain the applications are complete, and the eligibility requirements are fulfilled. These grants fund a variety of programs, but they are all connected to supporting the justice system or people coming out of the system.
