Making assistance
easier to understand.
Clear explanations of U.S. assistance programs, checked against official sources. A better place to begin your search for support.
An independent benefits publication
Our mission
A clearer path through complicated information.
GrantsHubUSA is an editorial blog about U.S. assistance programs. We read the federal, state and local sources, explain the rules in plain English, and point you to the agency that actually runs each program.
We do not run programs or process applications. Our job is to do the reading, so you can see your options and take your next step with the right agency.

A little more about how this publication works.
No. GrantsHubUSA is an independent editorial blog. We are not affiliated with any government agency, and we do not run, approve or process applications for any program. We explain programs and link to the official agencies that do.
Today the site's owner pays its costs. As GrantsHubUSA grows, we plan to show display ads from Google AdSense, kept separate from our guides, and some pages may include labeled affiliate links. We take no money from any agency or program we write about, and no advertiser decides what we cover.
Subha, our public benefits writer, researches, writes and fact-checks each guide against the agency's own pages. The site's owner and editor approves each guide before it goes live and handles corrections.
Each guide links to the official agency page for that program, and shows the date we last verified it. Rules and amounts can change, so confirm current details with the agency before you apply.
Those are official government sites: USA.gov runs a benefit finder at usa.gov/benefit-finder, and Grants.gov lists federal grant opportunities. We focus on plain-English explanation, federal and state context in one place, and a Verified date on every guide, with links back to the official source.
Email contact@grantshubusa.com with the page URL and what looks wrong. Our editorial policy is to correct confirmed errors within 48 hours.

Questions, corrections and story suggestions are welcome.
For questions about an application, contact the agency that runs the program. We cannot see or change application status.
