What AGA never does

1. We never award grants or claim to be the government. AGA is a private information and guidance service. Funders and agencies make every award decision.
2. We never guarantee funding. No one can. Any service that guarantees you a grant is a red flag.
3. We never charge a fee to "release," "process" or "unlock" a grant. Real grants don't have release fees. Our only charges are the published plan prices on our pricing page.
4. We never call, text or DM you offering a grant. If someone contacts you claiming to be AGA with a grant offer, it isn't us. Report it to us and to ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
5. We never ask for your Social Security number, bank login or card PIN. You enter sensitive information only on the funder's or agency's own official application.
6. We never ask for payment by gift card, wire transfer, payment app or crypto. Those payment requests are always scams.
7. We never take a percentage of any grant you win. Our prices are flat and published. Percentage-of-award pay breaks grant-profession ethics codes.
8. We never send you to paid lists of "government grants." Federal grants are listed free on Grants.gov. We link to official sources.
9. We never invent amounts or deadlines. We show an amount or deadline only when the official page states it, along with the date we checked.
10. We never sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy. You can unsubscribe from alerts or delete your account at any time.
11. We never make cancelling hard. Paid plans can be cancelled anytime, with no hidden fees, and you see your renewal date in advance.
