. Scam Alert: You Have Qualified for a Free Grant! Also includes REAL resources for nonprofits! Sounds too good to be true: a Free Grant Giveaway Program.

According to About.Com, the Free Grant Giveaway program doesn't exist. And there's an even greater danger than losing $30-$70: the websites that ask for your credit card number are not on secured servers. There are some really good resources listed in the article about this recent scam, including Government Grants, Private Foundations, Free or Low Cost Medications, Government Resources for Nonprofits, etc. You can read the article at http://usgovinfo.about.com/blscamalert.htm. If you do not have internet access, schedule some time to use our computer lab so you can research these great resources.
