      <description>I have two questions befoe I look into this any further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First question:&lt;br /&gt;
Do you guarantee that I will be able to recieve grant money?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second question:&lt;br /&gt;
If you guarantee that I will recieve this grant money, can you wait until I have money in hand before I pay the $19.95 fee?</description>

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
You will be charged a fee for the initial book and cd/dvd and then there is a monthly fee.   If you want to check out the grants issued by the federal government, to to www.grants.gov.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a long process to try to get a grant no matter who you go thru but if you can go thru the official gov grant site why pay some one else?</description>

      <description>Just another small business making a buck.  Cant blame them, and can only blame yourself for not getting the information TRULY for free on your own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is RARELY anything truly free out there.  So many misleading advertisements these days.</description>

      <description>Sure thing.  Hope it works.  Sounds like a great and sorely needed program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Again, remember that if you see a grant topic like "Reducing Risk Behaviors by Promoting Positive Youth Development (R01)", that could very well be the closest catagory for you. (That's an example only, you'll need to go through the entire site)  If it is, then follow it through and try try try to get to a government officer, not a clerk.  You'll know the difference once you start working the system.  And it is work.  But don't give up on it.  My brief experience with it gave me the impression that if you kept asking enough times, they'd find a catagory for you.  Especially if you used certain buzz words like "inner city" or "minority" or such.  And by the way, these grants are not free.  Oh yes, you get the money, but the paperwork and paper trail can be exhausting.  (The first time).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another thought, there are other sources that give money to groups like yours.   First and foremost are the local churches. Then there is the local governments.  Oddly, while they don't have enough money to pay teachers a living wage, they manage to have money for "special projects".  To tap into this, you need to cozy up to the local council members who are always looking to pander to their constituants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Non-Profits make a science of fund raising, and generally devote a professional soley to this purpose.  Which brings up one other potential source .... there are organizations that, for a fee, will go out and solicit for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best of Luck</description>

      <description>Go to grants.gov to start and see what is available.  If you don't find exactly what you are looking for that's a sure sign you're on a government site.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the grants we found were real estate related, but in all cases, we found some similar grant and worked with them.  The government is actually eager to give out the money, but you'll be dealing with bureaucrats who see everything in black and white, so patience is definately going to be the buzz word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck!&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Bidsale, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are you affiliated with these people?  Their Guarantee is confusing and there is no way to get hold of anyone to question it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Guaranteed:&lt;/b&gt;  If you purchase this information and are not totally satisfied, we will gladly refund 100% of your purchase price. If, after reading and following our directions, you honestly feel you didn't receive exceptional value for your hard earned dollar, simply send us an email within the next 14 days, and we will refund 60% of your purchase. No questionns asked!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appears that they will give me back 60% once I realize that all they are giving me is the booklet that is actually free from the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I worked on "grants" for about a year, and aside from the fact that the process is arduous, these government grants are actually given out for specific and I dare say "good" purposes.  They don't give business random grant money, that's why they have an SBA division.  (I would think Luckiest would be familiar with that).  And they don't give grants for startups, buyouts, new business, old businesss, or anything else that I've seen requests for on this community board.  One needs to have a cause, such as "green" or "academia", or alternate fuel, or specific scientific research, OR, one has to be indigent and I doubt we have many on line with us, although if business keeps going the way it's going, I may have cause soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would, please share with us the grant that you were able to get through this site.  I would appreciate the education, information and lead. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks</description>
