There are hundreds of websites promising that they can get you a free government grant to pay off or eliminate your personal debt. Most of these ads are technically correct, if you read between the lines. Unfortunately most people hear what they want to hear and are convinced that there are government grants available to eliminate personal debt.
If you read the wording of most of these ads carefully you will find that some of them say “get a free government grant and eliminate your personal debt”. They want people to believe it is possible to get a grant for your debt elimination, when in reality there are no such grants available. The reason they can make these claims is because of the wording.
What you can do is apply for and receive a grant to start a business, become profitable, and then use those profits to pay off your bills, buy a new house, or go on vacation. Once you have a business that is profitable you may use those funds any way you please. The profit from your business is your personal income and can be used for any purposes you see fit to spend it on.
I have explained this concept to many of my clients and they ask me if they should still pursue a government grant. I tell them yes, as long as you apply for a grant for a business that benefits the community as well as yourself it is still a great way to receive free funding. Good examples are businesses that fulfill a true need in the community, like a daycare if none exist. Businesses that encourage economic growth and provide jobs in an economically depressed community are good candidates for successful grant funding.
I encourage my clients to stay with an idea that they have a great interest or experience and not to try to change their business plan. It is better to find a grant source for their original plan than to try to make their project fit a particular grant.
Whether your project is for a nonprofit or your own personal business there are still many sources for grant funding through the government and private endowments. Staying focused on the true purpose of the grant is the key to successfully receiving grant funds.
It can be very frustrating trying to complete the granting process alone and I suggest using one the grant tutorial programs. Some of them are relatively inexpensive and you would save hundreds or thousands of dollars in fees to a professional grant consultant.
