The Importance of Government Grants For Single Mothers

A government grant in its most basic sense, is free money. This is neither a loan nor is it taxable income. In short, it is free money usable by anyone that qualifies. The qualifications vary greatly but one of the most prevalent grants currently are those slated to be granted to single mothers. These grants vary from business grants, education grants, and even debt repayment grants, all the way to grants to help pay for daycare.

The number of funding types available are hard to pigeonhole as new grants are added daily while expired grants are removed. The key is to apply early and apply often. There are two often used methods for applying for these government grants. Those methods are the direct approach and hiring a grant filing service. This latter type is often called a proxy service by some individuals.

The direct approach is the more difficult of the two. This is because the single mother will be performing all of the searching, filing, and worry on her own. She must seek out the grants online and then complete the application packages in person. If even one item is misplaced or illegible it is possible the entire application will be summarily rejected and she will have to start all over again. This method is best utilized by those on a budget and who have lots of patience.

The second approach is the most expensive but simplest approach. in this grant filing approach the single mother will hire a company to search and file for grants on her behalf. They do all the work for a modest fee. There are two types of company in this venture. These types are commercial and non-profit. A commercial company will charge a varying fee determined by each individual company. A non-profit organization will require little if any money because they are often funded by the government or donations.
