The idea of getting grants that could provide ‘free money’ is intriguing. But does ‘free’ money actually exist in the grant world for individuals? If so, where can it be found? GrantWatch.com<\/a> lists grants available for a wide variety of recipients. Though grants are usually awarded to nonprofits, municipalities, and IHEs (Institutes of Higher Education), there are also grants available to for-profit entities, small businesses and some individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grants come from different funding sources. In fact, two of the primary funding sources are the government and foundations. Even though the government doesn’t award personal grants to individuals, it does fund hardship programs, loans and benefits to individuals. These come in the form of food programs, subsidized housing, student loans, Medicaid, and social security benefits. You can obtain more information about government programs that may help through the official site: USA.gov\/Benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The government does not <\/a><\/strong>offer free money for individuals. Federal grants are typically only <\/strong>for state agencies and nonprofit organizations. But you may be able to get a federal loan<\/a><\/strong> for education, a small business, and more”.<\/p>USA.GOV<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, some foundations have grants available to individuals<\/a>. While these grants are free money, they usually come with ‘strings attached’. Foundation grants can be hard to find as they aren’t always publicly listed. Furthermore, these grants aren’t available to everyone. Each foundation grant will have its own eligibility criteria that needs to be met, which is typically a specific type of individual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch is a grant database that lists current available grant opportunities for all recipient types. Currently, there are more than 1,000 grants<\/a> available to individuals from foundations. Below is a list of some of the grants now accepting applications: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
