| Federal
Loans for Women,
Quoted
from the US Government web site,
Federal
Citizen Information Center::
"There
are many advertisers and publishers who encourage the public to believe
that it is impossible to obtain information on Federal grants and loans
through the Federal Government itself. This is not true. It can be difficult,
the search may be frustrating: there is help.
The
best overall source is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, available
for use at most - but not all - Government
Depository Libraries, on-line through the General Services Administration,
or for sale by the Government
Printing Office’s bookstores. The Catalog lists most "assistance"
programs of the Government, some of which do not offer financial assistance.
When using either version of the Catalog, make sure that you note both
the beneficiary and the applicant. In some cases, applicants must be State
or local governments. This means that individuals have to determine whether
their State has applied for the program and which State office to contact.
You can usually find this information from the Headquarters or Regional
contacts listed for the program.
While
the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance lists many programs, it is not
all inclusive.
Another
great source to get information about benefits that may be available to
you is GovBenefits.gov.
By simply filling out a online questionnaire, you may learn of benefits
you are entitled to! It is completely confidential. You don't need
to enter any personal information such as your name, phone number, Social
Security, or any other identifying information. Just answer some simple
questions about yourself and GovBenefits.gov
will
generate a list of government benefits you may be eligible for and information
on how to apply." (end quote)
