There are essentially only 3 sources for grants.
Federal grants are called Small Business Innovation Research grants. These are given primarily for some new innovation. You can find out what's available at http://www.sbirworld.com. There is also info on this site about how to apply.
Some cities offer grants to small businesses if they will locate in the downtown area, for the purposes of building up downtown traffic. Check with City Hall.
Finally, private foundations offer grants. You can get a list of most US Foundations and private grant sources at http://www.foundations.org/grantmakers.html.

Grants are generally for non-profits - not businesses.... but a few towns offer grants if you start a business in an area they are trying to revitalize. You probably need an SBA Loan.

Are you referring to a business loan? Most banks offer them. I suggest a smaller bank. They usually specialize in small business loans.
