While nonprofits get hundreds or thousands of checks every year, when most of the money is going to buy things, the grants generally go to a few nonprofits that do good or work to expand the nonprofit’s mission. The amount of money nonprofits have depends on who is funding the program and how much it is needed. Many of these grants are administered solely by the local nonprofit.
Donating money to a nonprofit makes the recipient of the donation a part of the nonprofit’s mission, or in some cases the entire organization. The recipient of nonprofit grants is often a direct beneficiary.
How can I get a grant?
There are a few ways for you to become a recipient. You can:

Apply to become a grantee.
How does a grant work?
Grantees:
Work on a specific area of a nonprofit’s mission
Help expand the nonprofit’s mission
Help the recipient of a grant meet or be in a situation similar to his/her situation
Help the recipient to improve the nonprofit
The nonprofit’s grantees serve as “mentors” to the recipients’ families and as mentors to the grantees’ families, and as mentors to the local community, and as mentors to the grantees’ kids (often a parent on the grantee’s family).
You can see a list of many of these Grantees.
How are these granted?
The process of becoming a grantee typically begins with your local board of directors. You can find out if this board is local by checking the organization’s website (often for a charge of $40-90, depending on the size of the nonprofit). If it’s a U.S. Citizen Foundation, you can call the Foundation at 1-800-943-7667 or visit here to find out. It is important to note that you can NOT become a grantee via a “donation” only – only by being a recipient of a grant. If you are interested in becoming a grantee, then we highly recommend that you contact the Foundation and make a reservation, and call 1-800-943-7667 to confirm your interest.
What are the requirements to become a grantee?
