If you need individual assistance you should
first look locally to see what
resources are available before launching a full
internet search.
On our site we are happy to provide
free
information on over 200 grant, loan, financial aid, and other
benefits programs including help with food, help with rent rent
and help with utilities.
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.
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
about 1,500 programs listed in the CFDA. Each program has a summary
which explains program eligibility requirements, agency contact
information, and application instructions.
One easy way to find out
what government benefits you qualify for is by completing this free anonymous
questionnaire so you will be able to obtain the most accurate
list of benefit programs for which you may be eligible.
