Then take note of the CFDA number and use that when you apply for the grant at Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov/ . They have everything you need to apply for grants.

The first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process is

1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number

2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)

3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives

4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)

For private foundation grants, the best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org/ . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.

In England you need to go to a NGO or QANGO. THey give out a lot of grants for this from the Home Energy Efficiency Agency for lagging the boiler and doing your loft insulation and things like that

Hopefully you represent a nonprofit organization, or else you probably won't get very far with this, since few grants are available to individuals.

If you find grants.gov and the Foundation Center not to your liking, try Grant Spy, http://www.grantspy.com/ , where you can find federal, state, and foundation grants all in one place.

There are numerous people who would make fun of the prospect of changing their destinies. This is due to the fact that it thinks that no one gets more that exactly what is put in his destiny.
