Quick solutions to common concerns
What is the American Grant Association and how does it work?
American Grant Association is a personalized grant finder service that delivers curated grant opportunities directly to your inbox, phone, or fax—twice a month. Instead of spending hours searching government websites and databases, our members receive tailored grant alerts matching their profile, needs, and eligibility. We scan federal, state, private, and foundation grants so you don’t have to. Simply subscribe to one of our affordable plans, complete your profile, and start receiving opportunities that could help fund your education, business, home, or nonprofit.
What types of grants do you provide information on?
We provide information on a comprehensive range of grants including federal government grants, state-specific funding, private foundation grants, corporate giving programs, and specialized grants for education, small businesses, homeownership, medical expenses, and nonprofit organizations. Our database covers opportunities for individuals, families, students, entrepreneurs, and community organizations across all 50 states. Each grant alert includes eligibility requirements, deadlines, and application instructions. Whether you’re seeking funding for college tuition, starting a business, or supporting a charitable cause, our service connects you with relevant opportunities.
How do grant subscriptions work and what are the pricing options?
Our grant subscription service offers flexible, affordable monthly plans, with premium tiers providing enhanced features and more frequent updates. Members receive personalized grant notifications twice monthly via their preferred delivery method—email, SMS text message, or fax. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time without penalty or long-term commitment. Billing is automatic and secure, and you’ll receive confirmation of every delivery to ensure you never miss an opportunity.
How is my personalized grant information delivered?
Grant alerts are delivered directly to you twice per month through your choice of email, SMS/text message, or fax—whichever is most convenient for your lifestyle. Each delivery includes latest grant opportunities customized to your profile, complete with application deadlines, eligibility criteria, funding amounts, and direct links to official application pages. Email subscribers receive detailed PDF attachments, while SMS users get concise alerts with web links for full details. You can update your delivery preferences anytime through your member dashboard.
Is the grant information really free, and are grants guaranteed?
The grants themselves are free money that never needs to be repaid—that’s the beauty of grant funding. However, our subscription service charges a small monthly fee for the time-saving convenience of personalized research, curation, and delivery of grant opportunities matched to your needs. We do not guarantee you will receive a grant award, as that depends on your application quality and the grantor’s selection process. What we guarantee is that you’ll receive legitimate, up-to-date grant opportunities you’re actually eligible for, saving you countless hours of research.
Who is eligible for the grants you provide information about?
Eligibility varies by grant, but our service covers opportunities for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, students, small business owners, homebuyers, nonprofit organizations, veterans, seniors, single parents, and many other groups. During signup, you’ll complete a profile questionnaire about your demographics, goals, location, and financial situation so we can match you with grants you actually qualify for. Many of our members are surprised to discover they’re eligible for grants they never knew existed. Our personalized matching system ensures you only receive relevant opportunities, not generic lists.
How accurate and up-to-date is your grant information?
Our research team updates our grant database daily, monitoring federal agencies, state programs, and private foundations for new opportunities and deadline changes. Every grant alert we send has been verified within 48 hours of delivery to ensure accuracy and timeliness. We include current application deadlines, contact information, and direct links to official sources so you can apply with confidence. Unlike outdated free lists found online, our subscription service provides real-time intelligence that gives you a competitive advantage in the application process.
What makes the American Grant Association different from free government grant websites?
While government websites like Grants.gov are valuable resources, they require hours of searching through thousands of listings to find grants you might qualify for. Our service saves you that time by doing the research for you—filtering, matching, and delivering only relevant opportunities to your preferred device twice monthly. We also include grants from private foundations and corporations not listed on government sites, expanding your funding possibilities. Think of us as your personal grant research assistant, working around the clock so you can focus on preparing strong applications instead of endless searching.
Are there any hidden fees, and is this service a scam?
Absolutely not. American Grant Association charges one transparent monthly subscription fee with no hidden costs, processing fees, or surprise charges. We never ask for financial information beyond standard payment processing, and we never request upfront fees to “secure” a grant—that’s a common scam tactic we actively warn against. Our service is simply a research and notification platform connecting you with legitimate grant opportunities from government agencies and reputable foundations. You can review our Better Business Bureau rating and member testimonials for peace of mind before subscribing.
How do I sign up and get started finding grants?
Getting started takes just 5 minutes. Visit our subscription page, choose your preferred plan, and complete the secure checkout process. Next, fill out your member profile with information about your goals, location, demographics, and funding needs—this helps us match you with the best opportunities. Once your profile is complete, you’ll receive your first personalized grant alert within 3-5 business days. Our welcome email includes tips for successful grant applications and access to your member dashboard where you can manage preferences anytime.
What if I don't find a grant I'm eligible for in my alerts?
While we curate opportunities based on your profile, grant availability fluctuates based on government budgets, foundation priorities, and seasonal cycles. If an alert doesn’t contain suitable opportunities, simply hold onto your subscription—new grants are added constantly, and your next delivery may include the perfect match. You can also update your profile to expand your search criteria or contact our support team for personalized assistance. Many members find success after 2-3 months as they learn more about the grant landscape and refine their applications.
How soon after subscribing will I receive my first grant information?
New members receive their first personalized grant alert within 3-5 business days after completing their member profile – or sooner, if a newer grant becomes available. This brief processing period allows our research team to carefully analyze your eligibility criteria and match you with the most relevant current opportunities. You’ll receive an email confirmation once your profile is processed, and then your regular twice-monthly delivery schedule begins.
Can I purchase a subscription as a gift for a family member or friend?
Yes! Grant subscriptions make thoughtful gifts for college students, aspiring entrepreneurs, family members facing financial challenges, or anyone pursuing their dreams. During checkout, simply enter the recipient’s information and delivery preferences—we’ll send them a welcome message explaining the gift and how to access their personalized grant alerts. Gift subscriptions can be prepaid for 3, 6, or 12 months, giving your loved one ongoing support in their search for funding opportunities.
