FOUNDATIONS

In keeping with the hope that April and the spring season brings, we review sites that promise the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow through access to "free" government grants information. As professional Internet prospectors, we seek the Truth. However, as professional fundraisers, our motto is to "leave no stone unturned," even if it means looking foolish. But be careful!

GRANT-FINDER.NET

Grant-Finder.net reviews government grant Web sites for free. It's a good starting point for assessing the claims of the free government grant online industry. Check it out before succumbing to the temptation of fly fishing in these murky waters without a guide. Please note that all reviews are personal opinions and that the grants are available only to U.S. residents.

DOLLARGRANTS.COM

DollarGrants calls itself a one-stop source for locating free government grants in the United States for any purpose. With DollarGrants, we are given immediate access to a grant writing guide, a government grants directory and a foundation grants directory. In fact, you can receive up to $130,000 in personal grants, given DollarGrants' assertion that big corporations use private foundations to give grants as a "Tax Write-Off and public relations." A lifetime membership fee of $24.50 is required to join DollarGrants.

FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY

Free Government Money calls itself the "#1 Program for Receiving Government Grants." The site is a provider of government grant and scholarship information on the Internet. Each year, free cash grants are funded by the U.S. government and private foundations that are, in turn, funded through the tax dollars of U.S. citizens. The U.S. government cares about the growth of its economy, and private foundations use grants as a tax write-off. A series of grant seeking products is offered but the products are not free.
