    You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.

    Even if you buy books on “how to get grants” or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.

    Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.

    Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs

    To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants.

    The first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from…

    1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number
    2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)
    3. Authorize your Organization’s Representatives
    4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)

    You will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant which is the federal database of all grants.
