There's a huge chunk allocated for
major projects by Congress, If you want a piece of that pie, you can
apply through the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). You
can apply for your free government grants through their web site
www.cfda.gov.
The CFDA lists are administered by 57 federal agencies and in their
web site you will find all the assistance and grants programs you
are eligible to apply for. Take a look at their web site today to
see if you qualify for any of them. To give you an example, $22
million has been allocated to the HUD or the Department of Housing
and Urban Development by Congress. This is to make sure that the
Public and Indian Housing Drug Elimination Program is implemented.
Projects that can do away with or mitigate the problem of drugs will
always be eligible for free government grants. You could then apply
to the HUD for funding.There
are various other government agencies as well like the Department of
Justice (DOJ), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the
Department of Education Grants and Contracts Information, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Stopping Violence Against
Women and Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Emergency
Management Administration (FEMA). The NHS or the Department of
Health and Human Services has more than 300 programs where you can
apply for free government grants. These are run by several different
agencies.

for a free government grant and to make sure it comes through. You
have to be sure that you can fulfill your obligations which come
along with the grant. This is something you will have to keep in
mind and make sure of before you apply for it.
