I live three miles from my job.  Ride a bike two days a week.  Support wind generated electricity because it is right, not cheaper.  Unfortunately, this is not enough. Hope someone else out there is doing SOMETHING!!!!!!!

Go the NFPA and to your states firefighters association also your states department of public safety may offer grants as well

Many Power Companies do allow this, and they pay you for the electricity you generate.  It's sometimes called "co-generation".  You have to get the hardware set up so that the power you generate goes back onto the grid safely.\n\nAhhhh, to live free and off the grid.

There are many legitimate sources for funding.  Do a complete research project since it is for yourself, and be sure you have a competent lawyer on your side.  There are many law firms that provide services on a sliding scale (according to your ability to pay)\n\nThe United states Government has sources that can help you for free.  Look at every avenue available to you thorough the internet. Look at the sources link I have provided for you.

Try the BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada).  I am not sure about their prerequisites for providing loans or assistance, but you are taxpayer, it's PAYBACK time.

Yea there is stuff out there. I went to grad school, was in a similar situation. I applied, I was eligible for loans, but no grants.

I have operated a grant research and writing consulting firm for 30 years. Do not buy into the myth that there is FREE MONEY out there for your to start your business. The people who sell this information make their money off of people who are looking for something for nothing.\n\nContact your local Small Business Administration (SBA) for courses and services that can help you learn how to do it the right way.\n\nThe government DOES provide GUARANTEES for qualified loans that may be advantage to you should you be prepared to go the professional convential route of borrowing money to establish your enterprise.\n\nGood Luck and stay away for the FREE MONEY SCAMS.

Most of the available grant programs on windmills are for specific target groups -- not for private consumption. Examples:\n\nCFDA Grant # 15.057 Navajo-Hopi Indian Settlement Program \nOBJECTIVES:\nTo implement those provisions of the Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act of 1974, as amended, which are assigned to the Department of the Interior; and to institute conservation practices and methods to restore the grazing potential of rangelands lying within the former Navajo/Hopi Joint Use Area. \n\nCFDA Grant # 15.253 Not-for-Profit AMD Reclamation \nOBJECTIVES:\nTo fund local organizations and not-for-profit groups that undertake local acid mine drainage (AMD) reclamation projects. \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 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

Go to google, and type in free government grants,  there are plenty of them and there are personal needs grants to help you with bills and everything.  And they don't ever have to be paid back!!!!

This is a question that I am asked over and over again. The short answer is:\n\nThere are very few grants available for starting or expanding a business unless the business involves research and development or high technology. Even then, the process is very competitive and involves preparing a detailed written proposal.\nWatch this link you will get the complete info.

YOu have to repay a student loan. A grant is yours to keep without repaying.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\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

Yes, But what type of loan are you seeking, commercial or personal. We can do any type of loan or grants. How much loan do you need? Do you have the income to repay the loan back on time. Are you interested in any grant money.

This is something that international organizations may be willing to fund, especially if you thow in words such as "poverty alleviation" and "sustainable development" in your proposal.\n\nIf this is just for windmill design (and not actual construction of windmill), then you can try to get what is called in the development circles as "technical assistance grant."  United Nations Development Programme may be able to provide you with funds for this project. \n\nThe important thing to remember when trying to get assistance from international financial organizations such as Asian Development Bank, UNDP, World Bank and the others is that they only work with official government channels (and to a lesser extent, with non governmental organizations). So consult with your department of energy, and ask if this is something they will be interested in and if they can facilitate the grant application to these international organizations. \n\nNote though that dealing with government means bureaucracy, so it will be a slow process.\n\nOr you may want to find private investors for this. One possible source are the Indians who have made it big in Silicon Valley. There are many Indian VCs that you may want to look up and pitch your idea.
