You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.

Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.

Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

The government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.

For one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. Grants have objectives, and the grant applications that best captures the grant's objectives are approved.

There is a stringent review process through a committee composed of federal employees and selected experts in the field. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.

Some of the idiots will jibe... a GRANT is a promise to perform certain work or studies, according to a contract, for a specified remuneration by a funding body...

Nothiing wrong with seeking a grant! Some add to our knowledge base, some find great discoveries!

Anyway, the ONE GUY in the whole world who spends 260 days a year researching Government Grants programs, is Matthew Lesko, who puts out his HUGE book, every year!

Get it, and Good Luck!!!

I suggest you look right here in the Yahoo Answers Search box. There are hundreds of questions and answers about this and some of them are very informative.

Do not restrict yourself to government grants. There are many companies, such as Target that provide grants to worthy causes. They have application proceedures just like the government. There are also many charitible organizations that make grants, and some service clubs like VFW and Lions.

Go to the Library, and check out the newest books on Governent Grants. Generally, you have to fall into some guidelines for them, so its important to do a little research first.
Honestly, on the internet, youre not going to find much more than scams and fee sites.

Maybe. You have got to study the provide books on the library. There is most likely an SBA software, however you have got to pay that again. Grants, most likely, are given out to "beneficial" orgnaizations run through "trained" folks who do matters that "meet" provide standards. For illustration, I recognize a man within the mountains who runs a apartment save with sleds, snowmobiles and stuff. HE additionally sells fishing and hutning stuff. He had a BA measure. He applies for and will get presents from the Department of the Interior to make water measurements of streams. This is sort of a $20,000 coins provide to make those measurments to a systematic process and switch them in over a interval of a 12 months. I recognize an artist who obtained a $20,000 coins provide to educate artwork on the Department of Parks in Los Angeles and 2 occasions every week or so he'd pass right down to the assembly room at a significant park and keep artwork categories. A pal of mine's sister, who has a BA, Teacher Creditial and MA in Education and taught fundamental institution in Los Angeles and Arizona for years, now runs a useful resource middle for children and he or she applies for presents always to maintain the location going for walks. A pal of mine used to be worried with a Theater troup in Los Angeles they usually obtained a one million million greenback provide from a individual groundwork to transform the El Portal film theater right into a reside degree theater. I beleive they ultimately "went beneath" and the theater closed. Grants are more often than not designated and prohibit what you'll be able to use them for. Grant writing (proposals) is a prime artwork type. So, should you open up a coin save, you maybe equipped to get a provide to educate folks approximately cash If you open up a collectables save, you would get a provide to educate folks the bits and bobs of gathering and what makes for a well collectable object. Then you keep those systems at your save a couple of times every week. You might not be allowed to shop for products with those presents, however they would permit you to pay facet of the hire at the save or facet of the utilties and definitely your self for exertions. If you co-mingle price range they usually audit you and uncover out you purchased models for the shop, you might be responsible of legal fraud, so that you have got to be truly cautious, learn the provide standards and maintain price range separated if you get audited, that is infrequent.
