Grant: Money available to a state, non-profit or another government entity to do the public good.
Here is a way to structure this page.
Basically, it can go on like this. -- OrbitOne 14:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Verifiable sources for changes:
The books listed will all give basically the same information about grants as the article, as will the links.
For grant scams, a good source is the New York Office of Consumer Affairs http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/grant_scams_ny.html (amusingly enough, this page has Google ads and several grant scam ads show up alongside the warning).
I'm new to this, so if sources or books need to be listed differently, please respond on this page.

I think grantsfaqs.com will be a good addition to the external links page as it answers a LOT of grants-related questions in a clear and straightforward manner and is a legitimate resource for people seeking grants-related info.

I am not sure then how this site is less qualified to be presented on wikipedia coimpared to grantadvocate.com and nenionline.org. This site (grantsfaq.com) seems to be much more direct to the point and useful. Grantadvocate.com tries to look like a non-profit site and has pointers to, and virtually endorses other for-profit grants-related sites. Certainly grantadvocate.com is more of a bibliography (and that's putting it charitably) than an encyclopedia article.
Perhaps someone can enlighten as to why grantadvocate.com made it to this wikipedia article. As someone seeking grants info, I certainly found grantsfaq.com way more useful and feel it deserves to be pointed to.

I propose that we just get rid of the External links section altogether, as it is heavily prone to link spam and it's not really Wikipedia's responsibility to point people in the direction of requests for proposals or grant applications anyway. I also suggest this for Grant writing, which shares the same frequency of link spam. Maybe since these people don't seem to "get it," they'll at least not be encouraged when they look at the article and don't see a list of external links and think "Hey, I ought to add mine!"

I have been discussing about receiving money. If I send money I'm being told I will receive money. Some medium amounts and some much bigger amounts. Besides a grant is this true. Gramps7576 ( talk) 23:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
The European Council is very much a part of the EU, it is one of the 7 institutions alongside the Commission and the Parliament. I don't know what the author was thinking about when he said it was nothing to do with the EU. Totally crackers. -- Tomb Blaster ( talk) 19:41, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
