free online applications for grants that do not cost anything?

well, this is kind of a loaded question. yes there are free applications, but it takes a lot of detective work to find them. my advice, look at your public library for three books. they are by ben kaplan. he won about $90,000 in scholarships and grants to go to school. plus he's done a lot of the work for you and even shows you how to go about sending in applications and gives you examples and everything to give you an edge. here are the titles to his books. after reading one or all of his books, i promise that you will be more prepared to deal with finding money for school.

There are grants for everything!  You just gotta know where to look, how to apply, and meet the special qualifications. \n\nDon't waste your money on any of those Free Federal Grants books, programs, or any of that stuff.  \n\nThe same information is in the link below.\n\nAnd I'm only gonna charge you $5!  What a deal!

There are technology grants running around all over out there.  You should have someone at the central office who can help you research grants.  It takes work, and it would belong to the school, but it is one way.  You would have to show how the computer would benefit your students.  The other way to get a cheap one is ebay, but remember, you get what you pay for.

Government grants are FREE but it is hard to find grants to start a business or for personal financial purposes. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. \n\nNonetheless, 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 a for-profit venture.\n\nEven 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. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost 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 \n\nGrants 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 \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

Hi,\n\nGreat post!  I had the same grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday.  The program rocks for finding the grant info you want.  btw...this is  the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA  Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck
