More Free Government Money is Available at the State and Local Levels than at the Federal Level.

More Free Government Money is Available at the State and Local Levels than at the Federal Level.
Most people are unaware that looking to the State and Local
government for funding, rather than directly to the Federal
government is a smart choice.

The Federal government disburses grant money in two forms.
The first is in the form of a discretionary grant. This is
a grant awarded by an agency of the Federal government
(like the Department of Health and Human Services) to an
organization in need of assistance (like a homeless
shelter).

The second is in the form of a formula or block grant. This
is Federal money given to States, Cities and Counties.
Using their own rules and regulations, they disburse these
funds to charities and other social providers. The States
and localities receive "significantly more money" than the
Federal agencies for distribution.

Individuals should take advantage of the wealth of
information available online. Simple searches for key words
can turn up websites of importance. Web searching can also
turn up thousands of unrelated websites as which you are
probably already aware. Don't get frustrated, others have
done some of the searching for you. These are informational
products available at a small cost.

Informational products on the subject can provide direct
links to sources that you may never locate through
searching. These individuals have already researched and
packaged the best available information and links for you.
For the cost of a few cd's or books, you could easily
locate your funding source. Whether you are seeking a
grant or scholarship for college, assistance programs for
small business, or loans for minorities or women, these
products can be invaluable. Grant writing tutorial software
and applications are often included. A good proposal can
often mean the difference between being accepted or
rejected!

So if you are in need of assistance, the Federal government
is a place to start, but be sure to follow up at the State
and local levels. You may find them to be your best source
of free government money. Make the best use of information
available to you, both free and at a small cost. Be aware
of products that can "guarantee you money". Remember,
funding is always discretionary. Save time by making use of
the research that has been done by others on the subject.
Informational products that you purchase should always
offer 100% money back satisfaction guarantee on the
"quality" of their product. Using information to guide you
in the proper direction, , knowing where the most money is
available, and using the proper tools to apply can lead you
to the government money that you desire.
