Applicant Expectations
Applying and receiving government grants is not a quick funding option. The time it takes for you to receive the money depends on the number of applicants and the response time of the issuing agency or organization. On average, it takes up to 6 months, and sometimes up to a year, for a grant application to be reviewed, approved, issued, and released. But for a Quick Process, a one time application fee is required for this.
