			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;I have made the statement that there are FEW grants for for-profit companies and none that I know of for a person. &nbsp;This has elicited many responses where I am defending my statement. &nbsp;I have heard of a for-profit company that aligned itself with a school and got a grant. &nbsp;There is a farm that received a subsidy from the government for fencing. &nbsp;There was the person who said to me, well my husband received a grant to attend school. &nbsp;To attend school is usually called a scholarship, but it is true that people get scholarships all the time, so if you call scholarships grants, then yes you usually can get a &quot;grant&quot; for personaly use. &nbsp;They are called scholarships.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now I said few grants for for-profit companies. &nbsp;Farms are for-profit companies. &nbsp;If the government didn&#8217;t allow subsidies for farms, there would be less farmers because it doesn&#8217;t pay well. &nbsp;Good farmers are out in all types of weather. &nbsp;They generally can&#8217;t take a long vacation (who else would milk the cows twice per day?) &nbsp;Their livelihood can be hurt on a whim (think FDA talking about e coli in tomatoes last year and then finding out it was onions AFTER most tomato farmers had to plow under their crops). so yes there are a few grants, subsidies, etc. for some for-profit businesses.</p>
<p>Having said all this, scholarships can be found for free &#8211; talk to your guidance counselor or your financial adi office. &nbsp;Don&#8217;t pay someone to find you a scholarship. &nbsp;If you need a scholarship to attend school, you probably need all that money. If you have to pay a hugh sum of money for the &quot;list&quot; of grants for your business, run away quickly. If you want a list of grants for your business, try the free stuff first. &nbsp;Go to SCORE, usually found at your Chamber of Commerce. &nbsp;SCORE is retired executives that help you with your business for FREE. Not that I don&#8217;t want your money, but I want you to be satisfied that I have provided you with the research and/or grantwriting services that you need for the money you spend. &nbsp;I want happy customers. &nbsp;An unsatisfied customer is worse than a competitor, because that customer will tell others what a bad job you did. &nbsp;I hope this post lets you know that I have your bests interests at heart.</p>
<p>I answer most questions for free. &nbsp;Email me at g3grants@gmail.com and I will either answer your question, or tell you I don&#8217;t know.</p>
