The single best source for finding grant opportunities is the government site at www.grants.gov . There are four ways to search for grants on this website. The first way is a basic search. This enables you to search by a keyword, funding opportunity number, or CFDA number. The CFDA stands for Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. This number and the funding opportunity number are used for specific grants.

 

The online Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance gives you access to a database of all Federal programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally -recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi-public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals. After you find the program you want, contact the office that administers the program  and find out how to apply.

GovBenefits.gov helps citizens access government benefit eligibility information through a free, confidential, and easy-to-use online screening tool. After answering some basic questions, the user receives a customized report listing the benefit programs for which the user, or person for whom he or she is entering information, may be eligible.

Private Foundations Federal Programs State Programs

Private Foundations are usually formed by wealthy corporations, trusts and individuals to benefit individuals and small business using FREE GRANT money.

These organizations are required to distribute 5% of their total assets each year to maintain tax exempt status. Each foundation targets certain segments of the population with specific needs, sometimes in certain geographical areas. Some grant money to businesses, others grant money to individuals like you and me to cover the costs of everyday living expenses. There is an extensive list of private grant foundation's.

 Every year, the US Government distributes billions of dollars to businesses and individuals.
Politicians understand small business is fast becoming the lifeline of the American Economy and will employ millions of people in the future. A vibrant small business sector means a vibrant tax base. The federal government will distribute grants to average people to help them start their business. The federal government also distributes grant money to men, women and children to help them attend college and to help with everyday living expenses and unforeseen expenses such as medical expenses.
Every state is a major source of financial aid assistance to small business and education programs. Each state has a vested interest in promoting small business and educating their residents. More small business results in increased tax revenue. Educated residents attract businesses.
