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\nBut you may stand a better chance in getting into welfare assistance, rather than grants. For one, you will need to apply AND compete for grant money, and to do so you would need to write a grant proposal. It's not easy to get grant monies.

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\nContrary to what you heard, grant monies are not given to just about anyone for whatever purpose they want. 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 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.

I honestly DOUBT that a government agency would go around sending letters to people begging them to apply for grants. US Federal Government simply does not do that. \n\nThe letter you received is likely from a scammer -- organizations out to scam people of their money asking them to pay a certain fee in exchange of information about grants. \n\nOne thing to understand is that there are hardly any grants for individuals. Government is NOT giving away money for whatever purpose a person wants -- health, education, personal or starting a business. People who fall prey to this myth are always swindled or scammed out of their money. \n\nGovernment grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments.
