There are many websites created by the government that are used by citizens. Many of them are simply informative, while others were created to help aid the citizens. One example that we should all be familiar with as being college students is fafsa.gov. This is a website to apply online for financial aid for education.
There is another website that can be accessed: www.grants.gov.
This is a site that is for more than just college students, this is one that is given from a federal agency to the recipient that is meant to carry out a specific purpose (such as the financial aid being used for school purposes).
You can sift through the different departments to find a match on what kind of grant you are wanting to apply for. There is a page of 26 links for the departments offering grants. Such as the Department of Congress, Department of Education, Department of Justice, Department of Labor, etc. Each link that you click on will direct you to a new page that has different grant opportunities.
You can also categorize the grants by categories, the newest opportunities, agencies, or eligibility. This site is easy to use and makes it more convenient for people who are searching for help funding things that the government may be willing and able to contribute funds.
