Grants
What is a
grant?
Grants are sums of money
that are mostly awarded by governments in order to finance a
business/personal activity or facility. Generally, these
government grants do not need to be paid back. Federal
government agencies, departments and other organizations sponsor grant programs for various reasons.
Before developing a
proposal for government grants, it is important to understand the goals of the particular federal
government agency, department or private organization, and of the grant program itself. Understanding the goals of
government grant programs can be accomplished through discussions with the person listed as an information contact in each
government grant description, or by visiting the
grantmakers' website. Through these steps, a
grant applicant may find that in order for a particular
personal or business project to be eligible for
funding through a grant program, the original project concept may need modifications
in order to meet the criteria of the grant program.
In allocating
funds through grant programs, grantmakers base their decisions on the applicant's ability to fit its proposed
personal/business activities within the
grantmakers' interest areas.
