Possible Resources to Use to Search for Funding Support for Arche Tech Program

COS (Community of Science) funding database is the major database used by institutions of higher education to identify funding resources. By subscription only. UCSC is a member institution. Perhaps you know someone at UCSC who can facilitate access. Or, perhaps, Melinda at the Cabrillo College Foundation has some kind of arrangement for access to this (used to be called SPIN, I believe).

Foundation Center They are offering 24 hour free search of their online Foundation Directory database (or were, when I was at the site). When I signed up and did a search (on 4/23), there were 945 records representing funding by foundations that had the subject term archaeology associated with them, and 86 of those were in California.

The Grantsmanship Center Click on "Sources of Funding Information" (over on right).

GrantsNet from AAAS. Search for grants. They also offer an "ask the Grant Doctor" service grantdoctor@aaas.org. See their Web page for details

National Science Foundation You're aware of these resources. They have a mailing list you might want to join. It's called GRANTS, and it's for the discussion of topics related to NSF Grants. As a service to Grants readers, informative messages such as summaries of new program announcements, the NSF Bulletin, and other items of interest are periodically posted. To get on or off the list, or for additional information about the list, send a message to grants-request@nsf.gov
