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 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 \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

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center http://fdncenter.org/ - they have several databases of private foundations. It's a subscription based website but they have information.\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.

Check out www.grants.gov   and    www.e-grants.gov for educational type grants. These are "free" grants that you must apply for and for the most part be qualified for. Almost all grants are "free" but you must meet the criteria that they call for. Such as "medical research on sea urchines for enzymes pertaining to calcium deposits in bones, on the atlantic seaboard only." While this is free to apply for, it has extraordinary qualifiers for acceptance". People who research for grant opportunities and those who write the grants and those who manage the funds once the grant has been given are the ones who benefit initially. Try going to "google or yahoo" and put in "grant>educational" and it should narrow only educational grants (which will still a huge batch!)  Good Luck

Avoid companies that tell you that they will help you obtain a government grant. They are mostly scams that make money by getting you to pay them even though they cannot give you grants -- because none exists for your purpose\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 FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.
