By Dona Vandusen

These are not payback or entitlements, but an incentive of financial assistance from a federal agency to a recipient to achieve a public purpose of support or motivation authorized by a law of the United States.

Right now, there are already more than 1000 grant programs on hand, which are offered by 26 grant-making agencies. These programs are group into 21 categories and you can view them on the internet through Gov.grants.com. US government is indeed taking care of the wellbeing of its people through the federal grant.

I know that you want to avail these grants but before that it's best to perform a study about it. Many of these grants are provided to non-government organizations because they basically function in giving social services to the public. An ideal source to look for a government grant is through government official grant site.

You can sign on any of the sites that will request you of acquiring a grant and also for common grants alerts. Just always be watchful with the websites you have, especially if they asked for money it might be a scam site.

When you are already finished studying the government grant you want to avail you can now proceed to application. Individuals sign the grant application and its associated certifications and assurances that are necessary to fulfil the requirements of the application process. So, if you register as an Individual, you will only be able to apply to grant opportunities that are open to individuals.
 
A person cannot submit an application to a grant opportunity that is meant only for organizations. They can submit an application on the behalf, but not on the behalf of a group.

That is why always keep informed of the announcements you have, check their official websites. Don't forget to also update your qualifications, and be ready when it is needed.
