Also note that government grants aren’t just available for starting a business. There are some programs available that you may not have even considered as grants. I’m sure you’ve heard of FEMA, how about the food stamps program oh yeah and don’t forget Social Security Administration. Just in case you haven’t heard of these programs I’ll explain……
FEMA or the Federal Emergency Management Agency also has free lists and helps victims who have been through natural calamities like earthquakes, storms or fires. Food and Nutrition Services are administered by the Department of Agriculture and gives lists about the Food Stamps program. The Social Security Administration features free lists of grants in four areas: survivor’s benefits, disability benefits, retirement benefits and supplemental security income. For enquiries about educational benefits, you could try at the Veteran’s Administration. Students would do well to go to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
There are other sites you could go to as well like Grantsnet, Non-Profit Gateway, GovBenefits (http://www.govbenefits.gov/) and The Foundation Center.
