Free Grant secrets. Getting Government Money.

[top1.htm]

Q: Can I Apply To More Than One Program?

A: Of course. Don’ t worry about how many programs you can apply for. If you see a program that you think might work for you, apply to it. If you apply to 50 programs and everyone gives you the money, that is a wonderful problem to have. Only worry about it after it happens, not before. Sure there are some programs that give money for specific reasons and if you get accepted from two separate places you will have to refuse one of the offers. For example, you may apply to more than one program that offers grants for down payments or closing costs, or money to add a new addition to your home. If more than one place gives you the money, it will be a happy day in your life to have to turn down one of those agencies. Don’ t worry about it. It’s a nice problem to have. Worry more about where you are going to go to apply for the money, and not what you are going to do if you have too much money.

Q: Can I See The Names Of People Who Get Government Money

A: Yes, of course. Remember the government gives out public money. In our democracy this means they are giving out your money, so you have a right to see where it goes. You can go to any federal, state or local government agency and request the names and even the amounts of money people received last year, last 10 years or forever. You can even ask if your neighbor received any money. They may charge you a small fee or they may make you submit your request thru a special office call “The Freedom of Information Office.” It doesn’t matter. Just do what they tell you and you can get the money.

It’ s all public information and now it’ s on-line for anyone to see. Go to http://www.census.gov/govs/www/faads.html and you can see 5 years of data that show who got money from the major federal money programs. Over $500 billion a year is given out in these programs. A lot of it goes to state and local governments that in turn hand out the money to individuals. But this list also includes tens of thousands of people who get money from the U.S. Small Business Administration every year. Select a quarter from the list on this page and then select a state from Flat File list and down load the data. To better understand the table be sure to download a copy of the users guide from the main page.

Q: Can I Get Copies Of Successful Applications To Copy

A: Yes, of course. Just like you have a right to see who gets government money, you also have a right to see any government money application. There are some exceptions to this, but very few, and they may delete some of the personal information that is on the application, like Social Security numbers. Remember the government gives out public money. In our democracy this means they are giving out your money, so you have a right to see it. You can go to any federal, state or local government agency that gives out money and ask to see copies of successful applications of people who receive the money last year. Then when you fill out your application for this year you have something to copy from and this is legal.

Q: Can I Get Someone To Do FREE Grant Research

A: Yes, but it’s not me (unless you win our “Show Me The Money Contest”)!
Your Congressman and Senators Will Do Free Grant Research because it means their job. They know the back office telephone number of every government agency and if they make a call for you and help you get a grant you will vote for them no matter what they do. If you know your zipcode you know your congressman and senators. Find them all at http://www.congress.org
