I suggest you contact the Starkey Hearing Foundation http://www.sotheworldmayhear.org/home/index.php - they are the non profit arm of the company that manufactures hearing aids. This foundation gives hearing aids to those who cannot afford it.  You can download an application from their website or call 1-800-648-4327 for more ifnromation.\n\nIf you are interested in grants for education, I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/  . You may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant\nhttp://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachments/0203Vo3MasterFile.pdf . Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.pdf at 1-800-433-3243 and inquire about the process of getting grants for school\n\nAside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html  , you may want to explore private foundation grants . For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants for older women from private foundations.\n\nUnfortunately, there are no grants for small businesses in the United States. 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\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

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!

Generally speaking no because you can visit "www.firstgov.gov" and after a short survey receive a list of programs you may be eligible for including scholarships, loans, grants, you name it.

You stand a better chance of getting grants from private foundations rather than federal sources.\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). Their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." So there may be some grants that you can check out\n\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

Send your letter to Tom Joyner.  He raises money to support students attending historically black colleges.  He picks one and awards scholorships to needy students.  You can search his website on the internet.

You do not have to pay for access to lists of grants such as the website given above. Simply 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 a for-profit venture such as daycare.\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\nFrom Childcare.net:\n\n"The truth is, and it seems no one else wants to acknowledge this fact, unless you seek and obtain non-profit status, there is not a lot of help available in the way of grants for your child care business." \n\nGrants for a for-profit daycare business is a myth perpetrated by those who stands to gain the most - the sellers of lists of these grants. You may find an odd assistance or two from your local Children's and Family Services Office, but there's really not a lot. Your best bet is to check with them.\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 ($*.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.

Very few, if any, grants are for profit organizations.\n\nIf you are looking for resources for Grant writing for a nonproft/charity, there are a number of great resources at the Foundation Center website here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/individuals/\nand here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/propsample.html\n\nAn excellent book on grants is available called "The Only Grant Book You'll Ever Need" - you can check your local library, or go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786711752/qid=1147652536/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-4137422-0022349?n=507846&s=books&v=glance\n\nThese resources should prove helpful even if you are looking for other types of grants.

No. The 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.  There are no grants for paying off a pharmacy or buying a computer\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.

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

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
