Free Debt Grants to End a Financial Storm

Every year the federal government provides debt relief for individuals with debt grants. These programs allow families to obtain the financial resources they need in order to pay down credit cards and avoid bankruptcy.

This is in no way new. Federal grant programs have been in existence for decades now, but since the credit crunch and near collapse of Wall Street, these bailout programs have been receiving media attention. Now consumers are wondering how they can cash in from the over $700 billion dollars in bailout money the government is providing.

But the first question that may come to mind is why does the government bother providing debt grants? Why on earth would they care about helping people out financially?

The answer is simply because it is in their best interest. When individuals foreclose on their homes, file for bankruptcy, or even have a hard time paying the minimum balance on their credit cards, the economy suffers.

The money that consumers cannot pay back has to go somewhere. Credit card companies, for example, have to write off the bad debt as a loss, which is then reduces the amount of tax they have to pay. That streams down to tax loss flowing into government hands, which then flows back into less money that is spent on the economy.

Public schools suffer, road and bridge repair suffers, low income housing funding is reduced, and the list goes on. The inability for Americans to meet their debt payments can have a major, catastrophic impact on the American economy.

The governments solution is simply to take a loss up front by providing free grant money in order to prevent further damage.

By giving money to those who are in danger of defaulting on their loans, the federal government is able to eliminate the chance of what could be a major economic problem.

For consumers, this is a great way to become debt free without having to worry about any consequences. Debt grants is essentially free money that never has to be paid back. As long as you use the cash to get out of debt, the government will never ask you to repay the money.

The government, however, doesn't advertise these programs, which is why most Americans do not even know that debt grants exist. Those who do know about them don't necessarily know where to go to find them.

The process is fairly straight forward and simple. First you need to find out what grant programs are available and how much funding you are eligible receive from these programs. From there, you submit an application and wait for a response.

Since the government is mandated to give this money away, there is a relatively good chance that you will receive some funding. In many cases there is more money available than applicants requesting debt grants, so nearly by default you will be awarded free grant money.

You can find these programs at local, state and national federal agencies, and there are many non-profit organizations that run similar programs to help people get out of debt. Start with your local government office or City Hall to find out what is available for you to receive. From there, you can contact your state and national agencies. There is no limit as to the number of grants you can apply for and receive, so you can increase your chances and the number of checks you are sent by applying for multiple grant programs.
