 in response to writing...   can you please help me i am looking for a grants on line i am a single mother can you please help me my e mail is campbell.vera27@yahoo.com thank you.

I agree why should someone have to pay to get money! I'm very low income and by the time I finish paying my bills, I have only $25.00 left for the rest of the month and they want that?

 in response to LOLA33...   You won't like the answer. Let's just put it as you shouldn't.

 in response to Ktryna...   I don't think so but I could be wrong. Contact Aidpage Team or Emil and ask them. They are in position to help you.

I just checked. I don't know your system or browser, but I have XP and IE. I put The Federal Money Retriever into the seach engine and presto scroll down 6 names and you will find it and the next 4 have to do with it at quick glance. Try it again.

 in response to Schmidty...   According to my search tools, www.thefederalmoneyretriever.com does not exist. is it correct?

yes someone please tell me why do i have to pay for getting help with government grant?

 in response to moma lookin...   Check out those sites first and then I'll have to ask you certain qustions to help narrow down the information I can give. I would crash your computer with all the info, that's why I'm careful.

 in response to moma lookin...   I do have a lot of information and I have shared this with mny. To be honest, it isn't what most people think they are.You hear about so and soGetting a large grant shortly after filing. This comes from the scam artist who are out to take your money. Tell You what you can get information and a program for grants at www.grantgate.com and/or www.thefederalmoneyretriever.com . Both are the sister site to Aidpage and the oonly true grant informatio for free that I have found on the net.
Check it out and if you need help with something let me know.But in my honest opinion, you can get just as much help , if not more, from the people who are on Aidpage as contributers. Good Luck and God Bless

 in response to pistolbabe...   Contact your SBA (small business administration) they will give you a folder to study about getting grants and loans. Good Luck and God Bless

 in response to Schmidty...   I read on a post that you had a wealth of information on grants. Are you willing to share? Going through some hard times and need some help. you can send this to my email tr0632912@gmail.com
Thanks

 in response to single mom of 3...   the government is in debt....they are making cuts everywhere......there is no free money! its all a scam :( There is no help for people like us!

how do i get to download and print forms for grant money for small business ? i need to print so i can read about it fill out? How and where can I get that for free?

 in response to berserker...   I agree. Insurance was started by none other than the Mafia or Mob, some would say different, but the true grip of how it works is defined by the mob. Yet, we pay in willinglyThey have influenced our laws, Helmet, seat-belt, etc. and why? because they don't want to pay out ay money, they can't buy those 6 or 7 houses like the executives at enron, then bitch that they were bankrupt because they were going to have to sell 2 or 3 houses to pay there debts, poor babies. Don't you just want to give them more money because they have it so hard?
This leads back to congress and their double standard. They help them do this.I would gladly be a member of congress for 60 to 75 thousand dollars a year.Yet, they get 174 thousand AND perks.They vote on their own wages. Wouldn't you like to do that? I would. Or would have.
They have gotten too greedy just like the big companies. The reasons they give all sound logical but behind it isthe twisted truth that it's not all for the stock holders it's for the executives.
It's like on here. The contibuters use to get part of the share of money that came in. Then they decided to make it fair( to everyone) someone bitched, they promptly had them quit, then another bitched, they to were promptly off the website. Then the powers to be decided that they would do away with the share program. The reason being that they need the money to keep it running. They changed their name and became a different companie, who had more employees to run it. Now, you tell me. Was this accidental or manipulation to get what they wanted. It MAY be reinstituted at a later date. Yeah, right!The sad thing is that the people who are suppose to help and be a guide to the American people all decided that they would screw the American people, too.They did it behind our backs.The Social Security program would be fine, if every person or organization that borrowed mmoney from it would pay it back and leave it alone instead of using it for their own private bank. Why else would they want to take everything that we have done and turn it around. if they did away with social security where would they get their money then. That's the scarey part.It's always the poor and the disabled that they want to take more money from. The very people that they have been screwing for a long long time. They just want a different way to screw us and not be found out.
Companies too big to fall, bullshitte. There are too many small companies that are willing to step up to the plate. They aren't the only batters in the line up.
It all comes back to Congress . The oil prices were kept down to a reasonable amount until Cheney and Bush had a secret meeting with them and allowed the to raise the prices. They were oilmen so naturally they would benefit from it. Such goes the other deals made in and by Congress.

We need to rein in the horse, we have let them run wild way way to long.Another thing that does not help is the illiegals that are in this country. 12 million the last I heard, they are incouraging everyone to learn spanish, you have to pick which one you want to listen too.Why? is there such a problem because congress doesn't want to deal with it. It might hurt someones feelings ANd they have more people that they can bullshitte into believeing that things are different They really don't think that the voters have any brains at all , thanks to our letting things slide.

 in response to Schmidty...   Here is something Iam sure you are old enough to remember. I n the early seventies they had what was called, low cost or no profit insurance for essential services like medical. That ment that medical insurance was easily affordable for even the poor. Doctors did not have to carry millions of dollars worth of insurance. Then, the arch criminal Nixon came along and allowed the insurance companyies to realy start to screw over the american public. Not many remember how this was. So this was a safety net that was affordable by all. We have yet again to look no further than corporate criminals and political terrorists to know that thy are responsible for the high cost of medical treatment and the high cost of insurance. I have a friend that faught the hosbital for seven years over a wrongful death case. She and her son got second rate treatment, even a mongrel mutt would have gotten better treatment. Because she had no insurance, they procrastinated too long and as a result her son died. Aftver seven years she finaly gets 30,000...a very small percentage of what her lawers and the courts received. Of course she had no insurance because she is poor. The insurance companies as well as the government is just as guilty for the death of her son as the hosbital. Then of course all the drug companies jumped on the wagon. Do you remember when most all of your prescribed medications were inexpensive for the most part. Most all of the medicines that got prescribed like antibiotics, sedatives, opiates ect. were affordable by almost everyone. On the street you could get a jar of 1000 pills of almost any kind you wanted for 100 dollars. This shows you the real value of these pills that you are now charged 40 and 50 dollars for 35 or 40 pills. These medications were invented here and of all placs should have remained cheap and affordable. What they have done is legal extortion,the have taken an esential service and are useing it to plunder America.

 in response to berserker...   It surely seems so.

 in response to Schmidty...   I think the reason why these foundations do not help people in real need is that they do not further their agenda. Sponsoring a worthless study group connected to a certain college that they went to perhaps, that way their cronies get the glory, and the dollars. Forget the fact that all it realy did was line the pockets of these bootlickers and helped no one in need. As usual it is who you are connected with and what you can do for them. These large foundations have a sterling reputation, but like you remarked, they are not interested in helping those truely in need.

 in response to berserker...   I think that they shoud be charged also. The gimmick I found out is thaay sign you up for a data base and charge you, by the time you realease what is going on they have 29 to 35 dollars of your money if you are lucky to catch them the first month, if not it's higher and there isn't anything that can be done about it.

I don't understand how or why a large or small foundation would rather spend $100,000 to someone who has gone to school for 8 years to study how and when a nat farts than to help several people keep their homes or feed their kids. Doesn't make much sense to me.

You do know about Grantgate and the federal money retriever programs that Aidpage has as a sister site, don't you?

 in response to Schmidty...   There does indeed apear to be real government grant websites. they seem to be targeted to select individulas. Being a veteran, and very low income does not seem to fit into what ever agenda they have, such is my case. All the rest of the pay for the info is just trash and all should be criminaly charged. Their criteria is a mystery I have never ben able to figure. Good luck

 in response to amotheroftwowhoneedrealhelp...   YOUR MESSAGE IS A REAL CRY FORHELP.I FEEL YOUR PAIN,FRUSTRATION AND DESPERATE PLEA FOR A WAY OUT AND UP.I AMSORRY THAT I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE FREE GRANTS.I DO KNOW,MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU.I PRAY THAT GOD WILL HEAR YOUR PLEAS AND YOUR CRIES AND BLESS YOU AND YOUR TAMARIKI,MAY HE HELP YOU OUT OF THIS DILEMMA.LIFE CAN BE SO HARD 2 TIMES,WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,AND FOR YOU AND YOUR TAMARIKI I PRAY IT COMES TO LIGHT FOR YOU ALL.

 in response to Real Isrealite...   Husdand and I are seeking grand money to open a business

 in response to inmommy...   There are legit grants out there. Although the government ones are hard to access you can still get grants from private or non profit corps. I personally have downloaded and applied for grants from the private sector. These companies need to give these grants away or the have to return the funding. Try foundations arts concils and other non gov funding its way easier to access and downloading these forms are absolutly free good luck its worth it

 in response to amotheroftwowhoneedrealhelp...   The power of positive thinking will take you a long way! And just a little action behind it will get you out of the situation you are in! I have been homeless and out of work for two years now and had been saving every penny I get for my daughters needs untill I just got sick of worrieing so I said fuck it it is not going to change I had to just beleave that it would all be fine and it has been fine but now I am steping up the action so I can take it ferther! Just whatever you do stock up with a 5 gallon bucket of rice and a 5 gallon bucket of beens if we all do that we can make it through anything! Ph and water purafier cu the shit is going to hit the fan! You are better off than most because right now is a traneing ground for you so don't look at it as such a bad thing because you are going to look back on this as the good times! Get ready people

Anonamus!!!

The money is totally free the government puts it in secret codes n every area of the country there in schools commercials whoever read the small print o fits hidden from us because the government does not want us to have it

I absolutely agree

Totally agree! FYI, there is real information on government grants over at grants.gov. For the most part, though, the grants are not for everyone, and are targeted at specific uses, like farming, for example. Too many "free money" scams out there on the web.

how can there be any money grant out there are grvernments has no money what a joke

 in response to alfred1...   Please help me, please send me all the info you have on filing for free grants and money from the government exc... Thank's Jennifer Hughes. By the way you can reach me at jcromer72@gmail.com

its obviously not free if you have to pay for it and this is what the government does they make it as confusing as possible so you give up or they charge you take your money and blow you off this is how it works this is how our goverment is rich and our country is broke !! if our government was broke they would not be able to spend 100 billion dollars a year on top secrect extra terestrial ufo shit that no one knows about, my point is they have money and its because of us and our tax dollars, yes mabey its true they give sum of it back to us like mabey 4 of us so 4 people got money and 39 million of us have no clue how thoes 4 people did it, fuck this stupid shit my advice dont send a single dollar to thoes rich duchebags!!! love a smart guy

 in response to Lollipop31...   A member here named Schmidty has a lot of info on grants, he may be worth a try. His avatar/profile is on the main page under contributors.

 in response to ladyd24...   Hey Ladyd24's..

I'll bet you got those books from that guy, Kevin Trudeau who advertises all of those books on late night TV, he advertises, Free Grants, Get Out of Debt, Health Cures, etc..
I infact have those books, it was a waste of money, from the info I got in there about the grants they also wanted money for the forms. So how did you get the free forms from that book? I'd sure likke to know..

 in response to divine4life...   I had a call from a guy a few months ago who told me I had won the Clearing House jackpot worth over $550,000.00 and all I had to do was send them a check for $250 before they could mail it to me.. I told him, "I won't send money to someone if I win.." He harrassed me for a week calling each day telling me I honestly won the money.. Since I have caller ID I quit answering the phone.. I got hold of the Clearing House and talked to the CEO about this.. He said it was a fraud, and that they had many complaints about this happening to others..
People will try anything for a few dollars.

LLL

I have been reading up on grants, when I decided to get the forms I found out they want a lot of money for them. They there's no way to know for sure who you're dealing with at other end... I'm almost sure it's not a Gov. office. There are may frauds online and they try everything. I'm going to ask a Lawyer I know if he can tell me know where I can get the forms. If I get the info I'll post it on here for all to see. The Gov. advertised free and I'm sure the right forms are..

LLL

 in response to carrot4...   I agree with you 100% if it suppose to be free then by damn it should be totally free no money or strings attached.

 in response to divine4life...   If they tell you you gotta pay for something that is supposed to be free it is usually a scam,they take the money you send put it in their pocket and that is is the end of it you won't ever here anything else from them and will be out money you couldn't afford yo loose in the first place.

Hey.
I liked that comment about not havin to pay
You would think that if people were asking for
Help you would not need to use a credit card
Got me wondering what ever happened to CASH.

 in response to kaylynn...   Do you live in TX, NY, MD, IL or PA? Or know someone who does? If you do, I might be able to help you a little. I work for an energy company that is offering customers discounts in those areas to save them money on their gas and electric bills. I am looking for someone to help me find customers in those areas. It is commission-based but I realize you are looking for help at this time as I have been until i found this. If you find 4 customers, you receive $100. If you can't receive a check from me, I'd be happy to send a gift card to make it easy for you. If you are interested, please respond to momincharg@aol.com

 in response to writing...   I am to know someone has some real info on grants,I have 2 children who nare depending on me to keep the bills pay and to provide a home for us.

I am lokking for a free grant application section too, I have been to firstgov.gov too and can't get anywhere either.I have 2 children and a stack of bills piling up.I would like to buy a home and do some fixing on it but every time i get into a site ,the end always wants money for a tape or book for information. I have sent money for 2 tapes,they don't give a site to get into either.

I am a mother of two great kids who are allways asking mommy why can't we just go home why do we have to keep going from one persons house to another. I can't work and still haven't gotten my disablility started and I could not pay the bills everything got turn off and then I started having someone break in on us in the middle of the night thinking no one lived there I guess because there was no power. we had to leave and I can't just keep moving my kids and I from one friends house to another week by week . my kids and I are wearing out are welcome at everyones house and we have a house we can go to if I just had the money to pay everything off and get things fixed where it will all be ok again. I am so scared that one day people are going to be like you can't come here find some where esle to go and then there wont be another place to go and then my kids and I would basicly be home less with no way of doing anything for money shelter or food and I have been trying for so long now to get a real grant that will help us out of this deep dark hole we have fallin in. and please don't ask me to pay anything for this grant if I could pay for this grant info then I would not need it to help me as badly as I do please I am not one for begging for help but i am truly begging with all my heart and soul please someone please read this and know how I must fell and help me get this grant please . I hate waking up each and every day knowing what is going on in mine and my kids life right now with the fear that one day the worst will happen and I not only lose the house I have for not paying the land tax but lose my to kids they are the only thing that keeps me going in this world please I am begging someone please help me get a real grant please.

I have been reading everyones comments and I know how hard it is to find a real gov grant. I myself really need a grant because I have two kids I love more than anything in this world and we have a house but can't even live there due to people breaking in and breaking doors windows and I can't work and I am still trying for my disability, I had no way to pay my bills or taxes and now the power and water has been turned off so if I was to ever get a grant I would use it to get everything back the way it was where we could go home.

 in response to divine4life...   that is a scam!! Do not send the money!! People are using these grants to trap the innocent!! Do NOT send them ANY money!!!

 in response to writing...   go to gov.grants and be prepared to spend a lot of time on there but it is the only legal place I know of that doesn't cost you a dime. Hope this helps. Ginger

 in response to writing...   What is the link for Grant applications that do not have a fee for the application? Please send links to debcrose2145@hotmail.com. Thank you and God Bless !!

 in response to mauimama56...   so how do you CANCEL THE TRANSACTION

 in response to diva 34...   

I would suggest seeing Schmidty's page here, as he has a lot of info on grants. If you don't see the info your seeking in one of his posts, contact him directly, .. he has a wealth of resources in that department. 

Hi, i was wondering about the book you ordered does this book go in full details as far as details about how to a proposal

 in response to writing...   Please please send me the links tool. Please send to writingtigger1952@hotmail.com, in the subject space please put freedom from spamers so I will know who it is from. Thank You. Ginger

 in response to CATLUV...   they will only pay for school and i have to be therefor a whole 9 weeks before i can get a check for anything. else.. i have no income and no car so i have no way to get to school and back to even get money to go to school. and i cant find a job. and im about to lost my place. well i already lost my place 2 months ago now im sleep on a friends coach and i have to pay rent but no income. so im trying to feel a grant i can get money now. that i dont have to pay back

 in response to GodBody7...   Typically you can apply for financial aid thru/at the school you're going to attend and if you have a low enough income should qualify for full assistance, which will cover tuition, fees, books and be some left over for monthly expenses. As far as grants, a member here named schimdty has a number of grant related resources listed on his page.

i been trying to go back to school and find a grant that can help me rent and school. cause i got laid off over a year ago and still cant find a job. and all the ones i apply for say u have to pay.  

Yeah I'm having the same problem getting a free grant,every website I've been to want's me to pay for the application just to see if I'm approve for it that's not rite,when you really need the money I just dont understand why we have to pay for the application for the grant,that's the whole reson for applying for a free gov grant,so what to do now?

 in response to PHILLYM...   I wil look for the three or four that I have and if you will write tome I will send it to you. write to writingtigger1952@hotmail.com and in the subject line put ladytigger54 so I will know its you.

Hi Seeangle67, I will hunt on my computer and send you the link to the gov page that doesn't cost a cent to apply for a grant. If you could send me your email addy to writingtigger1952@hotmail.com I will send it to you. I have three or four that is that way. Hope to her from you and in the subject line put ladytigger54 and I will know who its from.

 in response to me&myself&i...   ALL IM TRYING TO FIND A GRANT OUT THERE TO FUND MY BUINESS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR A GRANT THAT WORKS

you are so true...I did the same thing one year. I read my email & they said there is "FREE GOVERNMENT GRANTS", out there, just fill in this order form & send, $$$, we will mail you the CD, just follow the instructions on the CD, & you should be getting a Grant soon. That never Happened....Free Government means just that "FREE", but yet we have to pay someone for a CD, just to get that FREE Government Grants....& I still don't have my grant. LAIRS....FALSE ADVERTISEMENT...CHEATER'S.

Finialy a real place that can help. I've been looking a long time for the help I need.

That is so true! I just wish I had the balls to really speak out publicly about such matters as you do instead of being shy. Totally agree with you and well said!

 in response to ladyd24...   What's the website address. Shouldn't it be a government site? How and why would you receive free money monthly and not have to work? We all would like some of that! What's the qualification or catch.

hi, i am a ga resident and i just want you to know that the free money is real. i have tried the same thing that you say you did about three years ago, and they never sent me any money either. but its out there the only problem is they not going to give you the website where to application is for you to complete and receive the money. now im not going to give you the site myself because the same way i got it you can to and trust me i am a normal person. i ordered this book call free money it came with a two other books debt cures, and 25 ways to $5k from off the tv. it was about $48 bucks and within a year i have received around 23,000. the money didnt come right away i must say. so i gave up stop thinking about it and was thinking to myself these damn people got more of my money. yes i cried because i felt lied to and i was hurt by the fact. then one day i went to my mail box and a ck for 3,000 was in there. the cleared it but told me to let the money sit there for a wk and that will give them enough time to see if the ck was real or not. turns out it was. after that the ck's came rolling in. i apply for the grants now and i don't have to work. go me the number to get the book is 18004457088 call you will c for yo self. duces until next time

 in response to mom e of 4...   Hello, I certainly would like help.
I am a mom who raised 3 boys.
I Homeschooled them and now I'm trying to put them through college.
The first one joined the Coast Guard and is serving his country and really enjoying it.
The second is trying to attend our community College and study his love....Photography.
The Community College in our area has a great program, but we need the initial money for him to attend. I'm sure we will get some form of assistance, being that I am a single mom, but we are having trouble with the initial cost of books and tuition until that happens, he will start at the end of Oct or first of Sept. 2010, so we are kinda running out of time. Any help would be appreciated

you are right, i pais for the service didn"t get to use it my husband went to the hospital so i lost my 24 hrs. and they wouldn"t give me credit it"s a big rip off, the sight was www.fed-pack.com, a big rip off.

and

www.thefederalmoneyretriever.com  they are free and they have everything you need but please pay attention to the article on how to prpare a grant. good Luck and God Bless.

 

don't have a picture

reply to Seaangel69:---Now I'm a little confused.....your in the navy I assume by your profile. Have you tried the navy for a loan which is probably a very stupid question. You are asking for a grant to what? If your looking for a grant to pay your bills and not pay it back I'm afraid your in the wrong place as I know of no grants to help people pay their bills with and not pay it back. If there were such a thing do you think we would all be here giving advice on where to go to get food and shelter? You mighy try Ekikaseven and Schmidty. If you don't see their avatars on the main board you can type them into the google box at the top of the page and get them that way. Good Luck  sheshe030

I am trying to find out how I can get a grant without having to pay back.  This website is not giving me any answers. What do I need to do?  please email the information to chynoweth3@msn.com  Thank you for your time and concen on this matter.  Really hurting financially.  Need help. 

go to GRANTS>GOV.  it a FREE website that gives you up to date information on available grants and how to get them.  It also gives you applications and helpto fill them out.

government is the biggest con, they got your money, and everybody else who bought the free campaign ad, in this case free grant money.  In other words, that free money they're talking about is the one everybody contributed to.  Then they make it impossible to get at using red tape/beaucracy.  Did they refund what you paid to apply for the grant?  If not, what do you think?

I totally agree I have been looking for a free grant application for days now and each of them require a fee.  AND the amounts are outrageous, I am trying to apply for grant to buy a home that i will be able to work my business out of, how can we as Americans continue to give out billions in ballouts to companys that have taken work to other countries but then turn around and expect the very ones getting burned to support the decisions made by our goverment officals but cannot receive any help without paying a Fee to just Live,  What are our rights as born citizens in America who are suffering from other's Greed.

hi i will like to get help from you thank you

I agree........If I am out of money, why in the world do we have to pay an application fee!! If i had $$$ to pay an application, Im sure I would not need grant money!! I think its horrible. People who obviously are looking for free money, don't have the means, or even a credit card!! Its not fair for the government or whoever else is doing it, to do that to low income residence.

I AGREE WHERE ARE THE FREE GRANT APPLICATIONS,WITH TIMES LIKE THIS WE NEED ALL THE FREE WE  CAN GET,AT LEASE WE ARE TRYING.

I own  a very tiny restaurant here in florida that only has outside dining. I have been searching extrememly hard to find a grant that would assist me in adding on a small room to offer inside dining so when it rains or falls below 60 degrees, my customers would have a warm or dry place to eat. I have not found any grant or even a grant application to fill out to apply for help. do not pay anyone for either of these things.....its all a rip off.

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope things are looking up for you. If you do happen to find a free application send a copy my way sweetmelissas1@aol.com

Dear mom e of 4,

I too am a mom of 2 15 and 10. I was disabled at the age of 28 due to stage 4 cancer (Melanoma) and have been struggling ever since. I have found over my lifetime, that being independent is soooo important these days! I too though, was in a long term relationship with my ex of 4 years and we were all but married the entire time. I never EVER allowed him to have total control over any of the finances because if you are TOGETHER then EVERYTHING should be together! That's what you call a marriage. If you are both giving 100% to the relationship then this idea applys to every portion of it! I know that you say that the inheritance was one of your husbands side of the family BUT like I said earlier, if you are together then why did you not share the responsibilites of handling this money? With hind sight being 20/20, now you are somewhat of a pickle and my best suggestion to you it to utilize all and whatever outside resources possible to be sure to get all things paid and on time. I just recently(2 weeks ago) have finally decided to start up my business and it has been flooded with clients AND success! You really need to research your idea online and first off find out if your idea is already being used in your area or not? If it hasn't already been taken, then you first need to either buy or borrow a book about srtating up business and follow the steps required to start up your company. It is much easier then most people think and I believe if you reasearch what I said, you will see that even though you must pay a little bit in order to file for the registration and fictitious name of the company. NOLA is a brand name of a book company and I highly reccomend this author to everyone trying to start a business and never has done so before. If you have any wuestions about anything please feel free to contact me at my personal email which is renewalife@yahoo.com. I hope that this is helpful and look forward to hearing back from you real soon!

Sincerely,

Ms. Sherry Cole

Dear mom e of 4,

I am a mommy of 4 myself, three are "technically"grown and one is 14 years old. I am actually asking for your advice.

We (my husband and I ) were well off, one year ago. We never had to really worry about money at all. However, the money was my husbands from inheritance, and I was raised by a single mother of seven ( you get the picture, I'm sure).

Well, the long and short of it is this... we are now totally penniless. My husband lost everything in the stock market (all of it!). I was such an idiot! He had 100% control of all funds, since the money was "his"... I was an at home mother, for most of our marriage.

Now, I thankfully found a job, but he (being 58 years old, and never working for anyone but himself) has been searching for a "regular" job - slim pickings where we live, and along with his age .... I am sick with worry. He has one family member that has been "helping" us , but believe me, he was in tears (really) during one call to this person, because our utilities were due to be shut off. This person is his only living relative,and my family has never, would never and could never help us. Sad, sad, fact.

My job, should pay more, and I'm hopeful for a pending promotion, but even still.. my income isn't enough. I was thinking of starting a business ( I almost started a few years ago, but chickened out, to be honest with you).

I need to find a web site for government grants for women in business, being a woman and obviously more wise than I am.. do you have any idea where I could look?
