How long will it take to find a grant?

Finding a grant takes time and patience. You should plan to come when you have at least an hour to become acquainted with the materials in EIFIC and to begin your search. Library staff can show you how to use the resources. The Foundation Center Online & Foundation Grants to Individuals Online make grant seeking much quicker than using print materials alone.

Can I get a grant for starting a business?

Grants are seldom available to for-profit businesses. However, EIFIC has resources to help you find other funds for your business. The Library also has information from the local Business Resource Group to help you in many ways with starting your business.
