Why doesn Brown & Associates, Inc. work for individuals or most for-profit businesses?
While there are exceptions, the vast majority of grants are made to nonprofit, 501(c)3 organizations, not individuals or businesses. You may receive junk e-mail pitches or see TV ads touting grants for individuals or businesses, but these are misrepresentations at best. Any money you spend on guide books or seminars is wasted. If you are low-income, however, you may qualify for certain grants and low interest loans for such purposes as home repair, first-time home buying and the like. You should contact your local city or county community development or housing department to check eligibility.
