Honestly, the processs can be quite complicated and confusing. UncleSamsMoney is an online web site that can help you in selecting and applying for grants.  They offer a directory of grants, grant writing software and more.

If you’re a minority/woman business owner, don’t ignore grants that were created especially for you! While the process can be intimidating, receiving thousands of dollars to invest in your business can take you to the next level!  Imagine purchasing a brand new lap top, software and office furniture for your office.  You can also use that money in education to further your business, learn new skills or software’s, and so much more!

Grant programs are not Loans. The money is yours to keep and never needs to be repaid. This grant money is non-taxable and interest-free! Grants are not an easy process.  You must research and apply for each grant that you are interested in and qualify for.

If you are not interested in using UncleSamsMoney to research grants, you can also manually research grants. Ask your local library for assistance.  I’ve listed a few books at Amazon below that may help you learn more about grant writing as well.
