Grants & Women is a free, independent reference to the funding actually available to women in the United States — federal and foundation grants, scholarships, housing and child-care assistance, research fellowships, and the loans that fund most businesses. We tell you the honest version: what is real, who qualifies, whether it has to be repaid, and the official place to apply — with no 'free money' promises and no fees.

One thing up front

There is no service that can 'get you a grant' for a fee, and the government does not hand out personal cash to pay your bills. Real grants are competitive and free to apply for. If you remember one thing, make it that — and read our scam-awareness guide.
