I looked yesterday on line and at Barnes and Noble but did not see what I was looking for.
Also, how accurate and trustworthy is this Matthew Lesko person?
Anyone ever applied for grants?

I do it for a living. All of those you mentioned are different kinds of grants and need different kinds of approachs. Many times you are responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP) and they will tell you what they want and it what format.
Grants (or Prograam Related Investments usually in the form of a forgiveable loan) to start businesses, buy a home, etc. are usually part of a Federal/ State/ Local economic development initiative and require more hoops.
Grants to start a nonprofit usually come from private or public foundations and corporate giving programs, and tend to not be as application intensive. Still got my number? Give me a call.
