In order to apply for a government grant, go through the following Government Grants Application Process/lifecycle:
FIRST, Search for opportunities

In fact, you can also Visit Addy and Mark under the small business grants section to check on some of the grants that you can consider applying for your business.
sECOND, Register for an account on grants.gov
Register an account with Grants.gov before applying for a funding opportunity. Whether you are an applicant for an organization or an individual applying for grants on your own, you only need to register one account on Grants.gov. The Grants.gov registration process can be completed in minutes. To learn more about the registration process, click on How to Register a Grants.gov Account

then, Prepare for an application package
Grant Forms contain copies of the federal forms currently used by awarding agencies to create grant application packages in Grants.gov, forms for post-award reporting, and forms that have been retired from the system. These include both government-wide and agency-specific forms.
FOLLOW BY Submitting the application package

FIFTH, Monitor the status of the application
