We read nearly every day about government spending, but many of us do not realize that we might be eligible to receive some of the money the government gives away every year. There are thousands of grant programs for established businesses and newcomers. Whether it's to develop a unique invention, continue or change your career path through education, work at your artistic vocation or simply to obtain help with living expenses, there are numerous sources out there for you to tap.
But how do you identify them? This is the bigger stumbling block to those that even think they might qualify for government funds in some way. But the key to obtaining grant money is not a big secret. Generally, if you are an organized, detail-oriented person who can follow instructions, chances are you could qualify for a grant.
Grant money can provide you with the independence you need to start your own business or launch you on a new career destination. These dollars can help you acquire schooling you've either lacked or need to change course.
All it takes is organizational skill, the ability to write a proper grant proposal and knowing who to write to for applications. This insider’s resource will be your guide and can improve your chances of securing grant money dramatically.
You don't need much experience for this either. Writing a grant proposal can be as simple as following the directions in your application packet… Add a little flair and your grant application can stand out, making your chances of selection better.

- Sufficient research done on your part to satisfy the grantors
- No question that you are the best candidate to receive the grant
- Time enough for you to review the application process and prepare your grant proposal
