Stimulus Rebate Checks

the Treasury Department will begin delivering the first of these tax rebates by direct deposit. During the first week alone nearly 7.7 million Americans will receive their tax rebates electronically. Then on May 9th, the IRS will begin mailing checks to millions more across America.

President George W. Bush delivers a statement Friday, April 25, 2008, on the South Grounds of the White House regarding the economic stimulus rebate checks. “I’m pleased that the Treasury Department has worked quickly to get the money into the hands of the American people. Starting Monday, the effects of the stimulus will begin to reach millions of households across our country.” White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian By this summer, the Treasury Department expects to have sent rebates to about 130 million American households. These rebates will provide eligible Americans with payments of up to $600 a person, $1,200 for couples, and $300 per child.

If you’ve already filed your income tax return your rebate is on the way. Even if you don’t owe any income taxes you may still be eligible for a check, but you need to file a form with the IRS. And it’s not too late to do so. Now, you can find out information as to how to proceed by calling your local IRS office, or go to the IRS website.

They want to make sure everyone who’s eligible for a check gets one on a timely basis. This money is going to help Americans offset the high prices we’re seeing at the gas pump and at the grocery store, and it will also give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown.

Finding and identifying government agencies that give grants for specific purposes or in specific subject areas requires time, effort, and research. The resources on this page provide a starting point to help you do your own research.

If you are looking for funding for an existing or new for-profit business, you may encounter difficulties in finding and getting grant funding. Government grants are generally (though not always) given to non-profit organizations for programs and services that benefit the community or the public at large.

The first place you should look for government grants is the U.S. Government’s Grants.gov Website. This site will enable you to electronically find and apply for competitive grant opportunities from all Federal grant-making agencies. You can also obtain information on types of grants and the government agencies that make grants. Additionally, you can sign up to receive notification of future grant opportunities. You can also take a look at the Government’s Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), which contains a listing of various Government grants and other types of assistance. Here you can get information on available grants by Topic Area or you can search the Catalog by key words and other methods. If you find a grant that interests you, make sure that you carefully read the section on Eligibility Requirements to find out if you would be qualified to apply for that particular grant.

You should also be aware that most government grants are not available year-round. That is, you can’t apply for most of them at any time you please — in general, you can apply for them only when they are announced by a Government agency. When an agency makes funds available for a grant, it places an announcement in the Federal Register which is published each weekday. Here’s where you can find the Government’s Recent Grant Announcements. In addition, you can search for grant announcements on Government Agency Websites.

Grants to individuals are most often given for educational support (financial aid), the arts, and various types of scientific or other research, although some agencies award grants to individuals for other purposes. You can find some information on individual grants on my Frequently Asked Questions Page.

Getting a grant is hard work. Don’t be fooled by advertisements and promotions that state that you can get “free money” just by writing a letter. There is a lot of competition for grant funds. To be successful in winning a grant, you must provide the funding agency with a well-written Proposal which clearly states your objectives and sets forth a plan and budget for your activities. Grants are “free” in that you do not have to pay back the money. However, if you are awarded a grant you may be required to provide periodic progress, program evaluation, and/or financial reports to the government.

If you think that you qualify for a grant, be prepared to work for it or contract with a competent professional to assist you.
