Who offer government grants?
The Federal and many State Governments are required by law to issue grants for many diverse needs. See government grants 101. The Influx of grant money into the economy creates jobs, which in turn creates more tax revenue and reduces individual (and corporate) dependency on government subsistence programs
With our economy in flux, the need to distribute this money and create jobs has become critical.
Many Corporations and Foundations are required to grant a certain amount of their assets annually for a variety of reasons. Foundations are required to give away at least 5% of their total assets each year to maintain their tax-exempt status.
Many of us don't realize that the U.S. Government and literally thousands of private foundations will distribute over $300 Billion to individuals and small business for any reasonable need. This grant money requires no special qualifications, no repayment, no collateral, no credit checks, is non-taxable and is available to you now!
