Thel library usually has access to the foundation center website, which allows you to search for all sorts of grants from government as well as private foundations. Check it out! Many grant writers pay $1000/year for this resource and your library will give you access for free!
If you want to create a museum exhibit and need grant money related to music grants for the exhibit, a good place to start is simply the museum that you are interested in hosting your exhibit. They can help you find funding or may even go get you funding themselves!
If you are looking for grants for changing your home to solar, you don’t have to settle for loan based programs. There are a ton of legit grants out there for this sort of thing.
The place to start is on the state level: www.dsireusa.org lists grants by state. Wisconsin pays up to 25% of the cost if you follow their rules
I do not recommend the PIME foundation… if anyone has a better experience with them that they want to tell me about, please post it in the comments. But otherwise, stay away.
Great video about solar grants and rebates for solar panels and other solar installation grants.
This is a great example of a farm grant at work. It is a bit unique because it isn’t directly given to a farm or farmer for farm expenses, but instead it is helping to fund “Rural Education Days.” The funds allow students to visit the Many Blessings Dairy Farm and the Crooked Lake Campground; students hear from speakers covering Food Power, Livestock, Watershed Education and many more farm-related topics.
Creative ideas like this can help funnel additional money into your farm! Publicity as well as marketing etc… and you can even have products for sale during the “rural education days”
think of how much revenue something like this could bring in if you are in the middle of a harvest season.
