Michigan + federal · starting where the money actually is

Find money for what you're building.

Government sites ask which program you want. We ask what you're trying to do — then find the programs, label each one by its real funding type, and tell you whether you may qualify. No pretending everything is a grant.

Describe the whole project in plain words. We'll break it into fundable pieces.

Not everything is a grant

Most rural projects get funded through a mix of these. We tag every result so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

GRANT

Money you don't repay, if you meet the rules and reporting.

COST SHARE

The program pays a share; you cover the rest. Often paid after the work.

LOAN

Borrowed money you repay, usually at a set interest rate.

LOAN GUARANTEE

A lender loans the money; the government backs part of it so you can qualify.

TAX CREDIT

Reduces the taxes you owe. Value depends on your tax situation.

REBATE

Money back after you buy and install qualifying items.

SCHOLARSHIP

Education funding awarded to a person, not a project.

TECH ASSISTANCE

Free expert help, planning, or verification — not cash.
