Welcome back to Part 2! If you watched Part 1, you know the biggest illusion is that government money is only for businesses. It's not. But now we hit the next major hurdle: where do you actually find these non-SBA grants? Most people search Google, hit a wall of scams and confusing bureaucracy, and give up. We are going way underground to find the real application portals.
The real secret to finding these non-SBA grants lies in realizing that the federal government delegates massive amounts of block funding directly to State, County, and Local municipalities. This is the hidden gold. These local offices your city hall, your county housing agency, your community development block grant offices are mandated to spend that money every single year. If they don't, they lose it. That creates our urgency.
For example, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is federal, but it is executed locally. This money can be used for things like emergency home repair for low-income families, paying utility bills, or even small business help that isn't the SBA. The application process is typically simpler, and the competition is way lower because most people don't know these programs even exist outside of a tiny basement office in their city building.
Here’s another major shortcut that bypasses the bureaucratic nightmare: Look for non-profit organizations and private foundations that receive government funding. The government often partners with established charities and non-profits to distribute funds because they have better outreach to the people who actually need the money—the everyday American.
Think of it like a funnel. The massive grant money flows from the Federal Government, down to the State, and then often directly to the non-profit that is designed to help with specific problems like rental assistance, veterans' aid, or even heating costs. Applying through these organizations is faster and you get human help! You are far more likely to get approved through a non-profit that already has a relationship with the funding agency than going cold turkey to a federal website.
Understanding these local and non-profit portals is the crucial key. And in Part 3, I’m going to show you the power of this strategy with a real-life example: Sarah’s Story—the everyday American who got $15,000 for a kitchen renovation. You have to see this!
