This organization is composed of more than 430 public colleges and
universities. Their interests are quite wide-ranging, but one
includes listing grant opportunities for member institutions. This
database, "GrantSearch" is obviously searchable, and seems to be
fairly broad -- a search for "economic" yielded almost 90 "hits."
Further, most seemed "reasonable" -- that is, it is easy to imagine a
few economists interested in most of the offerings. To access this
database, it appears that your institution must be a member of this
organization.

+ 6.9 GrantSelect
+
+ [searchable grant database]
+
+ This database is compiled by Oryx Press, and is said to have some
+ 10,000 funding opportunities by some 3,400 entities. A search for
+ "economic" yielded 300 hits (even though it was not one of their
+ listed programs), and a quick search showed that most seemed
+ "reasonable." It is a fee-based service, with rates from $350 to
+ $1,500 for an institution. They offer a 30-day free trial.

at Urbana-Champaign. It maintains a database of close to 8,000
funding opportunities, and is updated daily. A search for "economic"
yielded some 900 "hits," but not all of them seemed to be of interest
to academic economists. Your institution must be a subscriber to use
this database. There are more than 200 institutional members, and a
link to the list is in on the main page.

that "Only 30 percent know that low income results from the lack of
marketable skills," and "48 percent think that high wages are a
result of minimum wage laws, government actions or socially
responsible business leaders." Not surprisingly, they promote
economic education in many different ways. Besides information on how
to apply for grants, there is also background information on the
foundation, its very specific goals, and its mission statement.
