Answer 1

I have my own list of dreams that I would like to get. Unfortunately I pay tooo much in taxes because the government is giving grants to people who request them, without checking their validity. That means I can't help with any private charity. I hope when you send in your application for these very valid reasons you don't get pushed aside by someone just trying to get free cash they can spend frivolously.

Answer 2

Wesley, get real.
the government doesn't just hand out money to people who ask for it. Receiving a grant takes a lot of work and paperwork, proving elgibility...and yes, spelling counts.
If you are serious, you should retain the services of a disability lawyer who could help you and tell you what you may be qualified for in terms of assistance. A local medical social worker ( from your hospital or doctor's office) can also help you find programs that assist people in transplant programs. You might also consult with a certified accountant who can help you make financial arrangements for you and your wife's future. Even on a fixed income, you can make sure that she is taken care of. But you need the advice of a professional in all these matters. Take advantage of these services, they are there to help you.

And lastly, NEVER print your address on a public forum.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov

Use the drop down button
DO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?
Choose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.

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.

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.

Answer 6

Yeah, we would all like that. It's not gonna happen. Also, it's not very bright to post your name and address on a public board when anyone can see it.
