If you are looking at replacing your furnace, air conditioner, dishwasher, clothes washer or dryer, you should definitely consider replacing it with an ENERGY Star appliance. The exact amounts of your ENERGY Star green grant coverage will vary from 15% to 100% depending on the state in which you live. Most green grants, however, cover about 50%, helping to offset the costs of installing or investigating renewable energy systems. That means that individuals getting an initial assessment, or who are implementing changes in their current systems, can have at least some of their expenses subsidized by a green grant. Homeowners looking to convert their electric or hot water systems to solar powered ones are excellent candidates for these free green grants. Green Grants for Business There are all sorts of financial incentives for businesses, large and small, to hop on board the green train. Most businesses have an energy output equivalent to 50 houses or more and this is not going to be sustainable in the near future. There are large green grants to help businesses cover the costs of going green and drastically reducing their energy consumption. The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) is just one such business grant program. Funded by the federal government, REAP gives grants to farms and small businesses to invest in green energy such as biomass (the conversion of organic waste or produce into energy), solar, wind, water and geothermal technologies. Apply For Your Green Grant Today Every day that goes by and you sit and do nothing means more damage to our planet. By reducing your own home or business’s energy consumption you can help slow the effects of global warming and keep the hole in the ozone layer from expanding. Do your part in reducing your energy consumption and your children, grandchildren and great children will thank you for it. Remember: reducing your energy consumption also translates into lowered energy bills and increased savings in the long term! ]]> http://www.freemoney.com/green-government-grants/feed 0 Low Income Grants http://www.freemoney.com/low-income-grants http://www.freemoney.com/low-income-grants#comments Mon, 17 May 2010 13:46:40 +0000 admin http://www.freemoney.com/?p=1408 Housing Grants The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is dedicated to providing adequate low-income housing to Americans and landed residents in financial need. If you are paying more than 35% of your salary to cover your housing that is too much, and you will likely qualify for one of the various housing grants to help reduce your expenses. Grants include money to cover rent, mortgage payments, public housing, and shelter expenses.

Personal Grants

If you are making your rent and mortgage payments but don’t have enough left over to pay your bills and other daily living expenses such as food and transportation then this is the type of low-income grant that you need. The money awarded can help you pay down debts and regain control of your finances. Even if you have a great job and a decent income, but have made some bad investments and have wound up in debt, you could qualify for these grants. The money is granted to help you pay off those unsecured debts so that you aren’t forced to sacrifice your standard of living.

Childcare Grants

Childcare services in America aren’t cheap, and if you are in a low-paying job, the amount of money you are left with after paying for childcare doesn’t really warrant going into work. The government wants to help single parents and low-income families to be able to get out there and work while still having safe responsible care for their children. If you can’t afford the monthly cost of daycare you can apply for a childcare grant which will cover child care in a licensed child care center; in a licensed family child care home; by a relative of the child in the relative's home; or by an approved person in the child's home.

Many of these grants are distributed annually; however, thousands go unclaimed. Nevertheless, since new bills were passed on March 21, this number will increase to include more education grants and to make room for the projected $61 billion dollars the US government expects to save over the coming decade. The only problem is that with a sudden influx of state and federal grants, American citizen will no doubt be scrambling to apply for any and every government grant they can get their hands on. Many false websites have already begun to spring up, promising American citizens thousands of dollars in free government grant money, but without any evidence or information to back up these claims.
