Where is the best place to learn about getting free government grants?
Written by admin on March 12th, 2009
I want to start a small business and have heard that one can receive free government grants from the U.S. government. I believe that a grant of this nature would help me greatly in getting my business started. I have a fresh idea and am ready to create a business plan to present. Where do I go to get these government grants?
There are essentially only 3 sources for grants.
Federal grants are called Small Business Innovation Research grants. These are given primarily for some new innovation. You can find out what's available at http://www.sbirworld.com. There is also info on this site about how to apply.
Some cities offer grants to small businesses if they will locate in the downtown area, for the purposes of building up downtown traffic. Check with City Hall.
Finally, private foundations offer grants. You can get a list of most US Foundations and private grant sources at http://www.foundations.org/grantmakers.html.
