that website is very helpful but one thing that is discouraging is the fact that there are not many grants available to individuals, like there are available to organizations and city governments etc. i need to find grants that are truly for miscalanious needs, for individuals and families. this seems hard to do. -

all of the above is true... and NEVER buy the $39.95 book on how to get government grants. if u are too lazy to research information at the library yourself, you will not fill the application correctly anyway.
