Grants

It is a long hard process to get a grant, I know because I've been trying for them too...first of all what KIND of grant are you looking for?? And you're right--never ever be suckered into those deals where you have to pay some company for a CD or booklet, since the only one getting "grant" money is them.. There are listings for grants available in each state--and maybe the kind you're after is more in the line of scholarships or fellowships and grants from private institutions Try this link in general: http://www.ezgrantmoney.com/ebook/15.htm Also you have to be aware that there are deadlines for certain grants, so you have to know the how and when to apply There are all kinds of private grants for all needs...are you an artist? Writer? Photographer? Disabled? A woman...these are all types of grants geared for your needs. For me I've personally have tried The Puffin Foundation, New York Foundation of the Arts (NYFA). the W. Eugene Smith Fellowship, The Starving Artist Award (appropriate name--LOL) and one of the biggies...the John Simon Guggenheim... You also have to know how to write out grant proposals, career summaries, budget for your plans, etc... For legitamite grants there is NO such thing as getting a grant fast...you're up against thousands trying for the same thing...it's a real,cut-throat competition out there--I was in contact with one recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim one...she was trying for a grant for fifteen years!! Yikes Good luck!!!

I have the Matthew Lesko Book "Free Money to Change Your Life". I would be glad to look in it for you and give you some contact information. What kind of grant are you looking for? One for school, to buy a house, start your own business? PM me and let me know.

Those federal grants are very difficult for the average person to get. When you get to the site and view the grants available, you'll see that they are for specific purposes. I tried hard to get a grant to open a business and it was impossible. There are grants to expand existing businesses and you have a lot of documentation to provide. But check it out anyway. You may get lucky. Lloyd

I'm looking also. So if I find I'll pass it along to. Because all I find is the samething buying some CD or something.

Matthew Lesko has written several books on this. He actually lists the grants and what the qualifications are. Go to the library and take it out for free. Good luck.

Here are some of the government websites you can go to and learn more about the grants they offer. www.grant.gov, www.dol.gov, www.hud.gov www.sba.gov if you go to these sites they have grants and other resourceful links that you can fill out for grants. The is also a book by Lesko is his name that has the listing for grants for school, businesses, housing, etc.

Just be real careful not to be scammed!
