Many people look to the government hoping to find out how to apply
for a grant or to get "free money." However, grants usually go to state
and local governments or nonprofit organizations, who then use
the money to operate assistance programs locally. USA.gov has information
about grants and loans.
Individuals looking
for government grants and loans should visit
GovBenefits.gov. States
and organizations looking for grants should visit Grants.gov.
Another source of
information is the Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance, which is a directory of over 15
types of federal assistance, including grants and loans. There are
