<\/span>
<\/span>There are many groups of organizations that are eligible to apply for government grants. Typically, most grantee organizations fall into the categories below.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Government Organizations<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span>Non-Profit Organizations<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span>Small Businesses<\/b>
<\/span>Small business loans and small business grants may be awarded to companies that meet the size standards that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has established for most industries in the economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Once you have figured out if your organization is eligible for a government grant, you need dig a little further into the Request for Proposal (RFP) and\/or the grant announcement.\u00a0 Government grants are birthed by by-laws, or legislative authority.\u00a0 While you are scanning the grant announcement, look to see if your program matches the purpose statement.\u00a0 This statement will tell you the intended purpose of the grant funding.\u00a0 If your program does not fit, do not get discouraged!\u00a0 Continue looking through the federal register or grants.gov for another opportunity!<\/span><\/p>\n
