Be certain to read each listing carefully before applying.

For example, there is currently a grant of $10,000 available for roofing and renovations – if you are a Saskatchewan commercial property owner and you are undertaking a conservation project.

And, California individuals and families could receive $300 for extra-curricular activities if they are low-income residents within the Carlsbad city limits.

Ready to Find Grants?

In conclusion, there are grants available – it’s just putting in the time to find them and making sure you meet the requirements. There is no limit on how many grants you can apply for, and every funding source has its own timeline and method of disbursing grants.

If you have the will to find the grants, the next part is filling out the application. Each grant has a different application process. Some applications are simple and designed to be completed without the need for a grant writer. Typically, the larger grant awards require a more extensive application process. It’s preferable to hire a grant writer if you are not comfortable completing the grant application process yourself. But, grant writers are costly, starting from $500 and there is never a guarantee to win a grant.
