NO it is not.

When you talk of GOVERNMENT grants, the only place to go to is the GOVERNMENT -- that's why it is called "government grant." To go to sites other than the government (sites that end in .gov), there stands a very high likelihood that you will be SCAMMED especially given the fact that there are too many scammers preying on those looking for free money from the government

You may also want to read the warnings FTC has issued against these "grant" companies:

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/03/grantresources.htm
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.htm

Here is also one of the warnings issued by the Better Business Bureau http://www.concord.bbb.org/tips_timesharescams.html

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.

the BBB (Better Business Bureau) has a web site that may help you. Look for it on Google.
