Government Grants and Private Charity Grants

	Web www.enummi.com

Grants are "gifts" that a person, institution or company can receive in return for performing a certain specified activity. Unless you break the covenants, that is, the undertaking you give when accepting the grant that you will perform a certain activity, they are not returnable. A large number of government agencies sole purpose is to distribute money to a variety of causes. These agencies are required by law to fund specific activities with grants. The total amount is said to be over a trillion dollars from which individuals and groups can benefit.

Additionally, there are private charitable institutions whose sole purpose it is to support specific activities and causes with grants and sometimes loans.
Their main reasons for this financial bonanza is that the government wants to encourage specific activities or institutions, such as small business, the arts, sports or similar undertakings. Corporations on the other hand want to be seen as "good citizens" and as giving something back to the community. Since a large proportion of grants from private institutions are tax deductible, the government virtually co-finances charitable activity by foregoing taxes.

The Preparation of a Grant Proposal

Applying for a government loan or grant is not an easy task. First of all, you have to have a proper and well defined project. Some vague idea about "going into business" or, "doing additional job training", will not do. You have to think about

	what you will do,
	why you want to do it and
	how you are going to do it.

When you have done that, then you can think about how you are going to finance it or, how you are going to convince a government department, to help you finance it. There are many books that can help you in defining what you want. Some of them are shown below. We have used some of them and looked at, how easy they are to use.

Some of these books, just provide information and you have to find out yourself, how to use that information. Others, give you a step by step guide, to apply the information to a case and then, proceed to the next step, namely to make a presentation document and, apply for a government grant.

Contrary to common belief, grants are not handed out easily, and it is not some large bonanza for the lazy or the inept, who has just found a way to cheat the government, and in the end tax payers, out of some funds. A proposal has to be well founded and has to make sense, for it to be accepted.

Many companies and ventures in this country have started with a government grant, and while some think, the government should not get involved in the economy, well applied funding, is part of any economy. It is a normal tool a government has, to foster economic growth and invention.
