Questions
When is the next Dollar General grant deadline?
Dollar General has a program that takes applications at any time, with no fixed deadline.
Who can apply for Dollar General grants?
Nonprofits, Libraries and Schools can apply, depending on the program. Dollar General doesn't give grants to individuals through these programs.
Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?
No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
