Government Grants: Truth and Resources

Most federal grants are awarded to organizations planning major projects of benefit to their community. In addition, organizations that get government grants are required to meet strict oversight performance standards during the duration of the project.

Government Benefits and Assistance Programs

You need help, but after reading Federal Grants - No Free Lunch, you may have decided that a U.S. government grant is not the way to get it. But, do not give up, because most government assistance to individuals comes from sources other than grants.
