Great writer. Yeah, OK. And I have to wonder if there's a separate place for minorities and whites to apply for grants. Isn't this called "segregation", and "discrimination"? If you're such a great writer, write away and start submitting your stuff to magazines and other publications, etc. Buy yourself a book called "Writer's Market". (Yeah it cost money, it's not free) but is a great resource. Or you can search the web for grant info.

In California human beings of Mexican or South American historic previous are literally not minorities any more, yet they are suggested as such because they are nonetheless minorities contained in the U. S. as an finished. In some aspects of California there are dissimilar extra hispanic than white. i in my opinion imagine that is extraordinarily unfair for someone with decrease tutorial credentials to be positioned beforehand someone who's a higher achiever by using shade of their pores and skin or their very last call. Does absolutely everyone really imagine that in destiny years, even as the Whites are minorities, that they're going to get particular tutorial privilege? i imagine not.

There's no such thing as a vehicle grant. Writing grants are given to those who can contribute to humanities studies, but not for anyone just wanting to write a novel -- even if you are a minority

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, 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.

Nonetheless, 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

If your question is serious, you need to return to school and take a few english classes. If not, you should be banned from these forums for wasting bandwidth.
