Pennsylvania State Grants Portal

Every grant and loan program that Pennsylvania's state agencies, commissions, districts and state-created corporations offer to local governments, nonprofits, businesses, schools, tribes and individuals — the money, who qualifies, the catch, and the next window — in one place, refreshed from Pennsylvania eGrants and the OpenGrants database.

How to use this page

  • This is Pennsylvania's own money. Programs here are administered by a Pennsylvania state agency, board, commission, district or state-created corporation — including federal dollars the state passes through. Federal direct programs and private foundations open to Pennsylvania applicants are listed at the end of this page, under Beyond state agencies.
  • Programs and listings are different things. A program card is the recurring opportunity (its rules, cycle and catch); a listing is one cycle's posting, tracked live in the OpenGrants database. When a card has no open listing, the next window is projected from its cycle and labeled as such.
  • Everything here is exportable. Download the CSV or JSON, or read the CommonGrants API — every record follows the open CommonGrants protocol, so you can move this data into your own tools.

What's included: Grants, loans, tax credits and rebates offered by a Pennsylvania state entity to outside applicants, whether funded by state appropriations, federal pass-through or trust funds; recurring programs with no current listing are kept with a projected window. What's left out: Federal programs applied for directly from a federal agency, private and community foundations, local-government programs, and state purchasing contracts (those are on OpenGrants Contracts).

Questions

Does Pennsylvania have an official statewide grants portal?

Yes. Discover State Grants at pa.gov/grants, launched by the Office of Administration and the Commonwealth Office of Digital Experience on October 30, 2024, lists grant programs from more than 20 state agencies. This page reads that data through its CommonGrants API, adds the programs and live listings from the OpenGrants database, and publishes all of it as open CommonGrants records you can download or query.

How do I apply for a Pennsylvania state grant?

Each program card links to the agency page with its application instructions. Most Commonwealth grants are applied for online with a Keystone Login account, through the Electronic Single Application or the eGrants system the agency uses; the program page says which. Technical help: the DCED Customer Service Center for DCED grants, and the Enterprise eGrants Customer Service Center for other agencies (contacts on pa.gov/grants).

Where does the data come from?

Program cards are verified against the administering agency's official page (the date is on each card). Live listings come from Pennsylvania eGrants through its CommonGrants API, refreshed on every site build, and from the OpenGrants database, which refreshes daily.

Can I export this data?

Yes. Every program and live listing is published as a CommonGrants (v0.5.0) opportunity record: download commongrants.json or opportunities.csv from the Open data section, or read the API at /grants-in-pennsylvania/common-grants/opportunities. No key is needed.
