Government grant money – if you watch late night TV – you’ve seen the ads! The guy in the funny looking suit, hawking a program that promises free government grants for any use you want! No repayment, no qualifying – just apply!

The question is: do government grants really exist? The answer is yes: government grants really do exist – but let’s take a look at what we should really be calling ‘grant money’.

Unfortunately – and quite the opposite of the usual ad – the U.S. Government doesn’t just hand out free grant money. Government grants must be applied for, you 

must qualify for them – and there are definitely ‘strings attached”!

A government grant money is not a gift or a present and there ARE certain ‘expectations’ attached to any grant that is given out.

If you  really want to go after grants, especially for business and be successful – you need to have the FULL package together – and that is a lot more than just filling out the grant application. It also means putting together a business plan, finding the right grant funder, getting the right supporting paperwork together and making sure that all of the myriad details are put together in the best way to increase your chances of success.

Ideally, you would hire a professional grant writer to do this for you – but most people looking for grants for their business or education don’t usually have a spare $3500 to $5000 to hire this kind of professional help.

That’s where the National Grant Secrets ‘Grant Robot’ comes in! It’s a slick little software program that walks you through the whole process, helps you put together your business plan, all the paperwork you need to complete the package, the programs you qualify for, and the right application.
