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.

Yes, there is free information on government grant money, and it comes from three sources. The sources are the FAFSA for college, Firstgov website, and your state government website. The state government website can be located by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com. However, some of these grants or "free money" will have an income limit or involve a nonprofit organization. In some cases, it might be a tax credit, too. Good luck!

Your public library has numerous books for both government & private foundation grants. Go to the Reference Section or ask the librarian.
