Who Says There’s No Free Grant Money For Business?
 

Some of you may have already called a government office like the SBA and asked about business grants because you saw this crazy guy on TV talking about Free government Money For Business. And this office probably laughed at you and told you that there are no such things as grants for business.  We’ll they’re right, but they are also wrong. There are no government grant programs at the SBA for business, (although they really have a free money type program that they probably didn’t tell you about because it’s called venture capital money and not government grants).  But, they are also wrong too, because there are hundreds of government business grant and free money programs for business but they are not at the SBA.  They are at other federal agencies, they’re at state, city and county governments offices as well as non-profit organizations. No one government office knows everything. That’s why when someone tells you “no” you can’t believe them now-a-days.  Remember this is the same government who didn’t even get the WMD’s information right.  It’s a big world out there full of wonderful opportunities, but it may take some effort to find them, because they are not in the obvious places.

Here are some real grant programs taken from our book “Free Money For Entrepreneurs”.  If you are looking for more programs like this as well as information about low interest loans, loans you don’t have to pay back, government contracts, and 10,000 other sources for entrepreneurs check out the book!  Or access the direct links to the sources right now plus get help, training and more  at my free government money club!*

Leftover Small Business Grant Money… A Real Pity
 

When I see things like this it makes my blood boil.  Last year the city of Onieda had $350,000 in grant money to give to people who wanted to improve their businesses , but not enough people applied.  I keep seeing more and more stories like this and I know there are entrepreneurs out there that really need the money if they only knew it was there.  Look for the story in The Post-Standard, Saturday, December 18, 2004, "Leftover Grant Money,” by Aaron Gifford.  I also read where the government had $1 billion for entrepreneurs in Virginia to apply for money and nobody showed up.  Even business money for 911 in New York still had over $500 million that was not applied for a year later.  And recent data show that only 50% of the students eligible for college money know enough to apply. Don't leave this money on the table, do some research, buy my book for business grants or get to a library and take one out for free! (Most library's have at least one of my books.)
