A federal, or government, grant is usually paid by taxpayers. In fact, the Small Business Administration is a United States government agency that actually awards grants to educational and non-profit institutions, not small businesses! Many local and state government have programs in place to help fund grants such as these. Some examples of federal grants and programs include the Block Grant, the Workforce Investment Act, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Women, Infants, and Children.
Private or business grants are usually awarded by small or large companies that are separate from the federal government. This means the money will get to you faster because these grants usually don’t require as much paperwork or time. Big companies like Walmart and Coca Cola have grants available to promote success and give back to their communities. In addition you can also find grants that will cover housing and childcare.
