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.

they are legal.  and as far as getting one, it depends on what kind of grant you are talking about.  if you're talking about an education grant, talk to your school, if you're talking about a housing grant, call your local HUD office or even your county offices.  Of course, you have to be a citizen and you usually have to financially qualify.

Apply for as many scholarships as you can. Look into Federal Loans and Grants. Check into The TAP if you are in the US, it's a grant that gives you money and you don't have to pay it back. You have to qualify for it. There are resources out there....This site will definately help you out! Good LUCK!

The only way you can get a grant is from the council. They will conduct a survey of your home and see how much work needs done. Depending on the quality of living you have got in the house, depends how much the council will give you.\n\nMy friends parents bought a house and got around £5000 to do the house up but then found other problems with the building and reapplied for some more money to cover theses extra costs. Alot of the money was given to them for structural factors of the building though, not a new kitchen for instance.\n\nhope this helps abit

Have you researched on how to fill out a grant? Make sure you state the importance of what you are doing on the grant- not just the need for money. Tell how it will benefit others in the long run. you need to write exactly what you will do with every penny given to you\nexample-\nif you are asking for a $1000.00 grant-\n$600.00 for airfare\n$200.00 food and medical supplies\n$200.00 irrigation supplies to provide water for village\nShow you are putting money in yourself\n\nHotel- $400.00- covered by own expenses\nMeals-$300.00 Covered by own expenses\n\nWhen competing for grants - the companies want to make sure the monsy is spent wisely. Some companies prefer to spend their grant money on local agencies only because it benefits their community. You might want to try churches.

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!

First -- you can't get a grant in four weeks. If you are talking of government grants, the whole process is tedious, stringent and yes, bureaucratic. You first have to write a grant proposal -- assuming there is a grant you can qualify for (a BIG IF). \n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, no grants for paying off credit cards, no grants for getting out of debt and no grants for simply fattening your wallet.\n\nGrants 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 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.\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

What kind of bills?  Don't take out a loan to pay bills like utilities, phones, cell phones, etc.   You should be able to pay these with your normal income. \nTalk to your lenders if you have excessive montly notes and see if they will reduce your payments for you.  You can also go see a free debt reduction counseler to help with this. They may even contact the lenders for you to help. \nWrite out a budget with your income and stick to it for a while until you get things under control.

Get a job.....better yet work two jobs!  Then live within or below your means!  That is how many of us got our starts....no one "owes" you money or a "grant".  Now, if you are a full time student, a whole different answer, BUT if you are a full time student you would know who to see at your college to apply for grants : )  Sorry a little harsh, but no one ever said life would be "easy".  Too many folks out there looking for a handout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
