The Unspoken Truth About Government Grants

Free government grants are money that is given to an individual a group or a business entity - new or existing - to accomplish an end result, usually some sort of community development. A grant of this particular type, can also be handed out as a part of a relief effort as well.

It never stops to amaze me, how much money the government hands out each year this way, and how most people are unaware of this huge amount of money. In fact, according to statistics, it's somewhere around $25 Billion, yes, BILLION! With this in mind, it's pretty clear why competition for free government money is so fierce

All free government money handouts in the form of a pure grant, involves a lot of research and even more paper work - through out the application process. NO EXCEPTION. It's also very important to realize that the person or entity attempting to qualify themselves to receive this kind of money must have the knowledge of this subject and the ability to see the big picture as well as it's small details.


Get this: In ALL cases there are going to be many parameters that must be taken as guidelines. It simply means that our government doesn't have an urge to simply and blindly hand it's money out. Like all people and organizations, they will want to see certain things done in the return for their money, i.e, the grant.

Let's get this straight : Your organization or business will have to undergo some types of adjustments or changes in order to become compliant to receive any kind of grant money. Keep in mind that the government is not going to allow us to spend the money in any other way we like!

In fact, be aware that you will sign an agreement with regards to just what the money from free government grants will be used for. If you deviate from that agreement, it's possible that the
government would seek the return of the grant money.
