Common Questions
Do I have to repay grants?
No. Grants are free money that doesn't need to be repaid, unlike loans. They're awarded based on need and eligibility.
What income qualifies as "low income"?
Most programs use Federal Poverty Guidelines. For a household of 2 in 2026, this is typically around $20,000/year, but limits vary by program and location.
Can I apply for multiple grants?
Yes. You can apply for as many grants as you're eligible for. Different programs serve different needs (housing, education, childcare).
How long does it take to get approved?
Timeline varies by program. Emergency assistance may respond in days, while education and housing grants can take weeks to months.
Are these grants legitimate?
Yes. All grants in our database link to official federal, state, or local government agency pages. Never pay to apply for a grant.
