Grant awarded by www.governmentgrants.com?

Question

has anyone ever heard of www.governmentgrants.com (not a government website) ? I just received a check and a letter from them. the check is for me to deposit, then to cash and send to a place called InfoDirect which (the check is to pay taxes on the grant) and then they will forward me the balance of the grant.

Oh yeah, the check I received is from an art gallery and I was told they are a sponsor to www.governmentgrants.com. The check is legitimate and can be deposited immediately.

Does anyone out there know if this sounds legit? I did file some grant applications last year and heard nothing. So I am wondering if this sounds like a scam to you.

OK , i understand this has SCAM written all over it. But I am holding a VALID check from their sponsor for $4,700 US.

I'm a doubter, but my bank verfied this check is legitimate. WHAT SHOULD I DO????

i WENT to their website and they have legitimate government grant offers.

It's a carrot being dangled to you. Avoid any company that tells you that you qualify for a grant that you can use for whatever purpose you want. They are simply out to scam you as this is simply NOT true.

The government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying your bills, for getting out of debt, or for buying a car. 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.

There is a stringent review process through a committee. 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.

If you want information on grants, 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 sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Grants.gov is the ONLY LEGITIMATE place where you can apply for government grants. Browse through the listings at CFDA.gov 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

Tell your office mate to forget about the letter and shred it to pieces. They are simply out to scam her and get her money thinking she may qualify for a grant -- and they will NOT deliver you anything. Pure lies.

Scams continue because there are always people who fall into their false promises. Go through with this -- just don't complain later that you've been duped.

While the correct answer ought to be NONE, the reality will be as many as HUD wants to grant to ensure Democratic party control in the next election. Look at the past on how various governmental agencies magically use "E-Verify", companies that have use E-Verify have been told in effect to hire an individual or multiple individuals. Later they have been informed that there was an error. If they fire that individual then E-Raza or some other groups sues the company for illegal dismissal, since the were hired. This is true if the hiring firm is to the right of center or is in conflict with a union organizing effort as was done in IA recently with meat packing. This administration has sought to prevent states from enforcing immigration laws or even asking for proof of citizenship, so it will allow non-citizens to get grants for various purposes so long at their is a verbal agreement to support the Liberal position. It does not cost liberals anything since spending other people's money is how they get and stay elected. Companies owner tend to be Republican so suing them to bankruptcy is a victory for liberals. Timing the destruction of a company plays well to the media at election time. If and when a ICE raid is done on a company it will be stage with cooperation of the Media and labor unions to portray the company as not doing immigration checks, even if they were done, since the verifying bureaucracy is run by Liberal Civil Servants who know by whom their bread is buttered so the media will tar the owners of the company as hiring illegal or firing Hispanics illegal. It is a win win for the Democrats and Unions. Perhaps the old Spoil System of Federal Employment had some advantages --- since an administration could actually change the actual workings of an agency. Now every administration has a fifth column of non-dismissible workers working against the taxpayers/voters interests.

That there's any basis for this to be considered a legitimate question indicates the depths to which we've sunk as a Republic. Our country's survival cannot withstand such foolishness as this. The support strategically given by the left to buy votes was feared by our founding fathers and warned against by some of the brightest, most revered patriots determined to keep Democracy from falling prey to manipulative officials pandering to the people. We're too far along that disturbing continuum early in the 21st century and accelerating toward liberal, left-leaning policies, but at least some appear to recognize which Party and which leaders support fundamental change and bludgeoning of hope for increasing portions of the electorate. We often find taunts from indoctrinated young contributors on YA! criticizing our founders and forefathers as “old dead white men”, and the messages appear laced with anger and loathing for middle-aged and beyond living white Americans who are targets of ridicule for so-called progressives. Many of the younger generation don’t get how the same strategy was used by communist revolutionaries in Soviet Russia, or the National Socialist Party of Adolf Hitler, where the indoctrinated young were turned against preceding generations and expected to play a role in the purge of anyone who dared voice dissent against the most powerful dictators of their day. In this case, absolutely no non-citizens should be getting support of any kind, and politicians willing to misuse public funds in such a way should be removed over the disgraceful draining of the treasury for political gain. For more than 50 years now, votes for the left have supported subversion and destruction of our Democratic Republic by a remarkably manipulative, ugly, but strategic mishandling of the public treasury. Our most pressing question may not be whether we can survive an additional four years under Obama's subversion, but whether our Republic can endure the economic destruction to make it to another Presidential election intact.
