Who can apply for government grants and how much money is available?

If you are looking for a government grant to start a business, buy or repair a house, for education, to help fund a community project or for research and development, the first step is to be aware of the existing federal, state or municipal funding programs and to determine if you qualify.

Each program has different criteria and awards various amounts, from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand dollars per grant. Some grants help pay for equipment or salaries.

I'm interested in purchasing and restoring a home that has been vacant for over 6 years. The house is in dire need of repair/restoration in order to save it. Would there be government grants to help someone like me?

I inlisted the help of the original builder to give me an idea of what the restoration would cost and he estimated $75,000.

Well, I would like a grant to purchase a house. How do I get started?

Also please don't forget about the other grant funding resources like foundations and organizations. They are another excellent source for finding grant funding.

Does the house have any historical value? You may be able to get a grant via that route. There are many grant programs out there that help with the downpayment of a home so those are some others that you should be looking into.

Are you going to use it as a personal residence or as part of a business? Lots of questions have to be asked and answered about this.
