How GrantMind sources these grants

• Federal sources — Grants.gov, NIH RePORTER, and SAM.gov, filtered for opportunities tagged or thematically aligned with arts & culture.
• State portals — state-administered programs across all 50 states and D.C.
• Foundations — community and private foundations active in this category, drawn from IRS Form 990 filings and curated foundation directories.
• Corporate giving — a curated set of corporate philanthropy programs.
