If you’ve followed BusinessYield long enough, you would realize that a list of government grants for individuals is non-existent. Notwithstanding, tons of TV stations and publications advertise government grants as individual-accessible.<\/p>\n

This is only partly true. Individuals are usually beneficiaries of government grants \u2013not directly though. It is almost impossible for individuals to qualify for government grants directly. But while a list of government grants for individuals is non-existent, in this post, we are going through programs that are easily accessible by individuals. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal of government grants is targeting non-profit organizations, local and state governments, research institutes, and other organizations whose aim is boasting infrastructure and economy. However, a more realistic approach as individuals is becoming indirect beneficiaries. In other words, the only way you can benefit from these grants is if you belong to any of these organizations which are direct beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

So, let’s jump into the good stuff.<\/p>\n

The Good Stuff<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just like I earlier stated, this post aims at exposing you to programs easily accessible by individuals. They are not lists of government grants for individuals like you expected; instead, it’s a list of platforms where you can access government opportunities, benefits, and loans for peculiar situations.<\/p>\n

The only free stuff we get from the government are loans or benefits. I guess this idea is what most websites interpret as government grants or they are basically out to scam you.<\/p>\n

In addition, these platforms are not restricted to just government benefits, assistance, and loans. They further spread into government grant platforms.<\/p>\n

So what advantage does this give you?  It exposes you to grants within your field or sub-field.<\/p>\n

What can you do with that information? You can apply indirectly from an organization and benefit as a member.<\/p>\n

But just in case you still want to fantasize. Hopefully, this information might just get you your wish \u2013a list of government grants for individuals.<\/p>\n

What Types of Grants Does the Federal Government Offer?<\/h2>\n

There are two types of grants used by the federal government:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Grants provided by a federal agency (sometimes known as “discretionary” grants)<\/strong>, such as a homeless assistance grant given to a homeless shelter by the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/li>\n
  2. Grants that put federal money in the hands of states, cities, or counties<\/strong>, who then distribute it to community groups, charities, and other social service providers under their own rules and regulations (also known as “formula” or “block” grants).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In other words, you can either apply directly to the federal government or to an agency\/organization that distributes monies received from the federal government. However, more money is available from state and local government initiatives than from the federal government directly.<\/p>\n

    You may want to register and apply for funding opportunities from the federal government through Grants.gov<\/a>, the single source for federal grants.<\/p>\n
