Is there a single, unified free government grant application?

There is no single application for a free government grant, keeping in mind that no grant is actually free due to attached conditions of usage or money matching, etc. Each grant programme is different, and to apply for one you must write a proposal to the individual grant you are interested in. The proposal should include how you will use the funds, why the money would be helpful to you, and your long term plans. If you are interested in a grant be sure to check the intended uses of the funds and eligibility conditions to be certain the programme will match your objectives. There are many grants provided at the regional and local ranks in addition to national options, so do not overlook these programmes in your search.
