Grant Money. Fact or Fiction?

One of the biggest myths currently propagated online and also on television is that there are government grants for women galore, available to anybody smart enough to find them. Shady businesspeople then promise, for a “small” upfront fee, to let you in on the secrets of wealth and free grant money.

To counteract such mostly scamming plots, the US government has established a pertinent web page, www.grants.gov. This has not only all grant information available but one can also register there and apply online for government grants.

Use this easy four step procedure to get started:

1. Find government grants for women opportunities that apply to you.

Advanced search is available to narrow your options; furthermore, there are detailed descriptions of every single project and grant that is available.

2. Get registered.

The site offers a simple registration procedure, which would allow your organization to apply for any available grant from the U. S. government. The verification of the registration takes up to five days.

3. Apply for grants.

There is always a grant application package, which needs to be completed. Tutorials and FAQ are available for better understanding and easier handling of forms, which are all in the downloadable package. The grants for women applications are electronically completed and there is a save and submit button on the forms. Once you are done with it, you save and submit it and you will see a confirmation screen appear on your monitor, telling you that the package has been uploaded.

4. Track your grant application.

There are several ways you can track your application, preferably on the “track your application” page. A detailed guide is available for download.
