What would be best best kind of government grant to request for the purpose of paying off credit card debts?

Answer 1

Smooch off the government? Don't we have enough of that who are on welfare already? I hope you're joking about this.

If that's the case then no one would pay their credit card debts. Think about it.

Answer 2

That would be Matthew Lesko, Fahad.
I have to admit, Mr. Lesko caught me up in the whole "GET FREE GRANT MONEY" but when I actually saw the book, there was nothing there that I didn't already know about. I knew there was grant money to be had, he just made it sound really convincing that you could get it for "anything" and that it was that easy.
The majority of grant money are funded to county, city and state agencies. Individuals can get it but they have to have a sound business plan. Even then it's still a lengthy process.
For most of us, if you've ever applied/received for welfare or utility assistance, reduced lunches/textbooks...etc., whether directly or indirectly you probably received grant money.
Go to your local bookstore (Borders or Barnes & Noble..) and have a look for yourself. While it won't show you how to receive a 'blank check', it may help you find an agency that can help if the need arises.
Advertisements can be very deceiving.
Example: Have you ever heard tv ads touting about a federal law that can eliminate your debts for only a few dollars a month? Sounds good doesn't it?
Well, I checked into it and found out it was true!
It was called a Chpt. 13 bankruptcy!!
If you have credit card debt there are many other avenues to find help., but there is never an easy way out.
Unless you win the lottery! ; )

Answer 3

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.

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

Answer 6

Grants are for doing projects ,
Never heard of any to pay CC debt .
Taxpayers would hang their congressman if they paid someone else's CC debt with their tax money !

Answer 7

That is one scenario that sounds too good to be true. If there were such grants your taxes would be astronomically high. Your best bet is to work hard, limit your expenses and do what the rest of us are doing, pay it yourself.

Answer 8

What scares me is that you're serious. There is no government program to pay credit card bills.

Answer 9

unless you bleed oil or know paris hilton, your government is not in the business of helping anyone
