In the context of a project - normally an educational project - the government gives a grant matching the amount raised by you.

Grants are NOT free money that is given to anyone for the sake of simply giving away money. Grants are OBLIGATIONS and given for a PURPOSE - Government gives you a grant because you can do something that is for the good of the community or whatever greater good. When you receive grants, there is a performance review to find out how you are meeting the objectives of the grant that you received. \n\nOne of the common misconceptions floating around is that government is giving FREE MONEY away. They are not, and those who believe that government is indeed giving free money away are those who are SCAMMED by those perpetuating these lies.\n\nLet's take for example Grant 81.042 WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME PERSONS. The objective of this grant is to http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=81.042 :\n\nTo insulate the dwellings of low-income persons, particularly the elderly, persons with disabilities, families with children, high residential energy users, and households with a high energy burden, in order to conserve needed energy and to aid those persons least able to afford higher utility costs. \n \nThis grant is not given directly to an individual but to states including Native American tribal councils. Individuals can benefit from this grant though, but individuals who receive this type of assistance are EXPECTED to use the funds to insulate their dwellings.\n\nyou 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 your objectives.\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\nNote that most 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\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

There are grants out there but there are also scammers who exaggerate how good they are.  See below:

I got several federal grants, but they are not personally but for the non profits that I worked with. My business got a grant but it was for a project where we gave various seminars (how to start a home business; online business; ebay business) to low-income minorities.\n\nNote that the government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere there is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved. The approval process depend on the grant; some can be approved within 2 months while others can take as long as 6 months or more.\n\nYou 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 your purposes.\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.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most 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. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \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

Try the website below. I would have to say out of all the free money grant websites out there this has got to be the most honest and legit. \n\n\nJust remember you can't scam someone who isn't either greedy or stupid.\n\nOh, and by the way, Sam C below is a spammer. Every answer he gives is identical and aimed at getting people to go to this website to make extra money. Sounds like a scam. look at the rest of his answers in his profile.

Actually the correct way to do that would be to contact your administrative support personal.  You must explain to them what you are trying to do.  If your request cannot be validated by the personal then you will be forced to be moved into another dimension.

Depending on the grant usually they post who is giving the money and for what purpose. The feds have a website that I have listed its free and very informative

I might suggest going to “google.com” and start entering words with “grant” included! With alternate words to narrow down your search such as "middleschoolerscolarships" or "educationaldonations"! just keep rearranging, adding and changing words until you find an answer...\n\nGood Luck!

Go to www.grants.gov to see if there are any grants for federal funding for which you may be eligible.

I'd say the National Lottery, but I'd be very surprised if you find any that will get you the grant within 3 months - they normally require applications further in advice.  How about the local town or county councils?  They normally have an arts fund.

Hi,\n\nGreat post! I had the same exact 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
