Next go to agency's that get funding to assist projects similar to yours. For example, if you are wanting to start up a no kill animal shelter you would go to the Humane Society for grant information. If you wanted wanted a business grant you would visit the Small Business Administration at sba.gov. If you wanted help getting equipment to help a disabled person work you would go to your local Vocational Rehabilitation Center. If you are seeking funding to go to school go to your colleges admissions office. If their assistance can not fulfill your needs they may be able to help guide you in the right direction.

Avoid using websites that ask for money. Some business make profit by collecting money from grant wishfuls then select one to give a small portion of the money collected and call it a grant. This type of business is not worth your time or money and is considered fraudulent.
