principles and conforming with Government guidelines for Federal domestic assistance. 20 Free Money What is free money? Usually it means grants or other programs where you don't have to pay back the money you receive. People who have contacted the Small Business Administration asking about free money programs were told that there is no such thing. That is partially true. The Small Business Administration does not offer grants. They specialize in loans and loan guarantees. But there are dozens of other government organizations that do offer grants to businesses. The following is a sample list of national and local government organizations that offer grants or other forms of money you don't have to pay back, like venture capital. This is not a complete list of programs available. But it certainly does offer you an idea of the opportunities that are out there waiting, and it dispels the myth that there are no government grants for businesses.
