For money under a hundred dollars to help support a hobby keep a look out in the classifieds and local news stations. I recently saw a news clipping that reported a arts enthusiast group gave away $10000 dollars to people who showed interest in the arts. All they did was go in line and tell the staff what they sought fund for and that got a instant grant. While this form of grant is not typically found daily, it is a good way for businesses and foundations to raise awareness of there campaign and is happening more often as companies realize the importance of word of mouth advertisement.
