You have seen the commercials and advertisements for free grant application, but can you really get non profit grants or is it just a big scam? Well, the answer is both. Stay with me for a minute and I will try to save you some time and give you some good resources throughout the article.

If you do an online search of non profit grants, you are sure to come across tons of websites offering free government grants. Some of them are a resource guide for free grant applications and some of them are for organizations that actually award non profit grants. Both of these types of sites have value.

The sites that have money to be given away is where I will start. This is where you need to be when you are actually applying for money. These sites will have specific requirements that you must meet in order to be eligible. Sometimes the money has to be used to start a business. Sometimes the money has to be spent on education. Sometimes you have to live in a certain area or belong to a certain demographic. The list of possible requirements is endless, but if you meet them you have a chance to collect the non profit grants they have available. Unfortunately, it can take you a long time to find all the grants out there by yourself.

There are also sites that have a listing of a bunch of different individual sites that have grant money to award. These sites are basically a guide to bunch of individual sites like we talked about above. These sites are usually membership sites that require you to pay a monthly fee or buy a book. If you are able to get hundreds or thousands of free grant applications it is probably worth the money because you have very little chance of finding all the grants that are out there on your own and if you did it would take you hundreds of hours of research just to find them. You can save a bunch of time by using a resource guide because time is money. The one thing you can do is take advantage of free trials. Basically what you do is sign up for a free trial and pay a small shipping and handling fee. At the end of the trial you have to pay for the service, but if you cancel before the end of the trial, you usually get to keep the guide. If you don’t want to pay for the service, you can apply for as many grants as you can during the trial period. The links in the article have a listing of some of the services that provide free grant applications.

I hope this has been helpful and I wish you luck on your quest for free grants.
