You will need to commit both time and effort to identifying potential funding sources. The information presented here provides you with some good starting points.
Discuss external funding sources with the faculty in your department. They know from years of experience the agencies and foundations that support specific types of research in your field. Ask more advanced graduate students in your discipline for guidance.
Check the websites of the professional organizations/societies in your discipline -- e.g., psychology students should look over the site for the American Psychological Association (APA); students in political science should visit the American Political Science Association site, etc. The majority of these sites contain discipline-specific funding opportunities provided by the organization itself or links to other sources.
The opportunities listed here are only an introduction to those available. Please also see the links listed under Other Opportunities and check out the Online Guides & Databases page.
