Another notice that was languishing in my overflowing inbox was a heads up that the Grants.gov summer newsletter is available. It's not exactly pulp fiction for the beach but a vital read for people like us. The newsletter updates us that:
- The transition to Adobe will be complete by December 31st -- no more PureEdge after that!
- Application and call center activity has increased
- When you contact the call center, there's a nice new script for you to enjoy (?)
- Grants.gov will soon feature a Google box (Question: If I use the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, do I get entered into a grant money lottery?)
- People are committing grant fraud, and they shouldn't
- Adobe error messages have explanations
- What to expect when you're expecting...a grant after submitting an application
Finally, there's news of a new Grants.gov resource -- "All About Grants". Maybe now I'll stop getting calls from people who want me to submit their grant application for them. Huzzah!
I have been trying to get grant assistant for a small business started up but all the answers I received is that ypu have pay first to get the first set and that is not yet the APPLICATION PLEASE ADVISE

We don't assist applicants with grants. Please go to the Grants.gov Web site and review the information for applicants that is available there. Good luck!
