Federal grants closing in the next 30 days
173 open opportunities as of Oct 15, 2026.
Independent platform. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. Data from public federal sources.
These federal funding opportunities close within the next 30 days, soonest first. A deadline shown here is the date in the official notice; many agencies also set a time of day and a time zone, so check the notice for the exact cutoff.
A strong federal application usually takes weeks, not days. If you have not registered in SAM.gov or set up a Grants.gov account yet, an opportunity closing this month may not be realistic. In that case, use it to learn the program and prepare for the next cycle.
Some agencies post the same program every year. Each summary page shows past award totals for the program when public USASpending.gov data is available, which helps you judge whether it is worth planning for next time.

Does it cost anything to apply for a federal grant?
