Many people have come up to me and asked the question, are Government Grants available to anyone who needs them. The answer is simple, yes.

Anyone who has a need for a grant can usually find the proper grant that that is for them. What are grants you ask? Grants are defined in the dictionary as something granted, as a privilege or right, a sum of money, or a tract of land. Some say it? an award or gift. In simple terms grants are specific amounts of money that is awarded to a person, a group of people or even a company to be used for a specific purpose. This money does not need to be repaid back and is essentially free.

The next question people asks is where do grants come from, who gives grants away for free and why? There are three main providers of grant money in the U.S., and each of them has countless billions of dollars they need to disperse annually. A quick look at each:

• Private foundations and organizations are founded by many large corporations so they can take advantage of tax exempt benefits.
  
  However, if they want to keep their tax exempt status, federal law actually requires these organizations to allocate a percentage of their yearly revenues in the form of grants.
  
  Every year these foundations give out millions of dollars in grants to a wide variety of individuals and businesses (e.g., Entrepreneurs, Small businesses, College students, those in need of general financial assistance or to cover everyday living expenses, etc.).



• Federal grant programs give away billions of dollars to your fellow citizens every year. Funded by your tax dollars, these programs are set up so that anybody can tap into the money they need right now... without the hassle and inconvenience of having to qualify for a loan, put up collateral, or be required to pay back the money.



• State grant programs have been developed to work specifically for you. But, every year, millions of dollars in your state alone go unused because people do not realize the grant money is available to them.

That? right - all the money is non-taxable, interest-free, and 100% yours to do whatever you want with it... and you never have to pay it back! The only requirement is that you are a U.S. citizen and a taxpayer. It doesn? matter if you have bad credit, no experience, or even have filed for bankruptcy you can still tap into the billions of dollars of grant money just waiting for you. Frankly, it? amazing that so few people take advantage of this economic ?ift the government created to assist the American people.
