Let me rephrase my grant question?

Question

Is there a website that I don't have to use a credit card online to order a Grant Application? I am looking for a personal Grant as well as a business grant. And I don't have a credit card to pay for the "CD", "application" or anything else. In other words I am looking for a Website that I can go to without having to buy anything to get the help I need.

I would be EXTREMELY WARY of companies that claim you can get grants for whatever purpose you want because that is absolutely false and not how federal grants work. And I would be SCARED all the more that this company wants you to apply for grants through them because there is only ONE site where you can apply for grants legitimately - and that is Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov

If you deal with the ONLY LEGITIMATE government website on grants -- Grants.gov -- there are NO fees. They won't ask you for your credit card number. It is a totally free process.

However, there's no such thing as "personal grants." There are hardly even grants for starting a business. These unscupulous companies peddle the myth that there are grants for whatever purpose you can think of (when there are none) as it is the best way to scam people. Imagine, people paying them for something that does not exist --- what better way to scam than this?

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 bills, no grants for paying off credit cards, no grants for getting out of debt and no grants for simply fattening your wallet.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

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.

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. 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

What information might you favor and truthfully if you're watching for information why now not put up within the biology phase? It turns out to me that you just might get your information there. Being sincere there isn't sufficient room nor time to put up all of the information right here. However for those who wish practical evidence of evolution simply seem at micro organism and viruses. Every 12 months you want a brand new flu shot. This is in view that the virus inflicting the flu alterations and developed. Antibiotics are fitting much less and no more amazing because of overuse and evolution. Bacteria that experience developed resistance genes reside at the same time others die. These are practical examples however the information of evolution can and does fill a couple of books. If you particularly wish expertise check out going to PubMed and shopping the medical articles there. Or on account that you're 14 learn your college biology ebook. It will have to include all of the information you are going to want.
