First of all, you need to learn to spell minority. No one is going to give you a grant if you are a poor businessman.

There are essentially only 4 sources for grants. A little known fact it that you do NOT have to be a non-profit to get a grant, regardless of what others tell you ... I've helped for-profits apply 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:

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.
There are some governemnt grants for minority businesses. You can find info at:
http://www.mbda.gov
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.
