In the first part of a large article, we provide a list of grants and US lending programs. But you need to understand that grant programs are in demand and the fund is depleted within a few hours or days. Programs that offer interest-free loans with deferred loan repayments are also in great demand, acting as bridges until federal assistance is available. Perhaps some of these grant and interest-free deferred repayment programs are already closed, but we left them on the list as potential models for new programs.
