Think About It. I’ll Grant You That. Well, not me. But the government will. Let me count the ways. Today there seem to be only 1915 grants available. You may be interested, even if not qualified. Here’s a random sampling from an official website.
New Mexico Long Term Bird Monitoring, National Park Service-Horseshoe Mesa Rock Art Documentation, Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations, Cultural Anthropology and Economics of Retirement (R03 SERBIA CIVIL SOCIETY PARTNERS. ( Total funding $1,625,000, but only $500,000 per winner, unless the embassy really likes your proposal.) Any registered Serbian civil society organization/business association is eligible to submit applications. That probably doesn’t include you. However, if you know the people “in the know”, the eligibility may be so narrowly focused that only you can win.
BTW, there are only four grants that seem to directly benefit Russians, not our favorite recipients these days. Not many countries are so deprived of our benevolence.
My favorite was just released yesterday, ” Job Creations for At Risk Neighborhoods in Belize.” I hear it’s nice there this time of year, or any time of year for that matter. This exciting opportunity was posted April 7, 2014. An impressive list of qualifying criteria make it unlikely that I will have my grant proposal there on time.” All applications must be submitted on or before Sunday, May 11, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. local time in Belize.” Did I really need that $1,500,000 anyway?
I have the distinct feeling you’re not taking me seriously because it doesn’t affect you personally. See if this is better. According to one helpful big government site ” The best place to find money to help you and your family is Benefits.gov”. Here you will find featured:
What is Benefits.gov?
The official benefits website of the U.S. government
Informs citizens of benefits they may be eligible for
Provides information on how to apply for assistance
Learn facts about FREE MONEY and GRANTS
Compared with Pass the Pork, these may be only scraps, but as long as they last, I guess some folks will be at the trough. I’ll Grant You That. Think About It.
