    you would have to search the federal grants database at http://www.grants.gov/ - if you find one for which you qualify, all the requirements and format would be specifically delineated.

    There may not be any grants for your organization - you may also want to check the websites of various companies to see if they have a CSR or corporate social responsibility policy where they describe the issues that they fund - if you meet the criteria, you can apply using the format and providing the description they describe.

    Be advised, federal grants and most corporate entities will only grant funding to organizations registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit - so if you are not registered, you should do that first. Go to the irs website, under charitable organizations, for what is required.
