Absolutely now where on any of our website do we claim or represent our company to be or even endorsed by the federal government. We offer educational programs on how to locate and apply for Grants both private foundation and government grants. We even have a disclaimer at the bottom of the sales sites that states “ *The Federal Government does not sponsor, endorse, and is in no way affiliated with Grant Master™ or this promotion.”

Had CharleneWard read the sales site she would have known about the membership fees if she did not call and cancel durring the trial period. There are no commitments with the free CD. However, there is a bonus free trial period to memberships websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated 4 times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and in the confirmation, it is then also explained in the 1st paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer. That is why we have the Terms and Disclosures are posted on the sales site directly above or below the "Ship My Kit" Button depending on the site you order from.

Here are the Terms and Disclosures that is directly below or above ( depending on the site you order from) the "Ship My Kit" Button.

Terms and Disclosures. By clicking "Submit" I am ordering the Grant Master™ CD and trial membership for one dollar and ninety-seven cents, after the 7 day trial I will be charged thirty-nine dollars and ninety-five cents a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to Express Business Funding™ and Network Agenda™ for seven dollars and ninety-five cents a month and nine dollar and ninety-five cents a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the PRIVACY POLICY (last updated: 02/12/2007) & Terms and Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as "GrantSearchAsst".To cancel call 1-866-396-5694, M - F, 9am - 9pm EST.

The Grant Master Program is designed to help customers Locate Grants, Find Grant Applications, Write Grant Proposals, and assist them with anything else that may be needed in the process of obtaining grant funding. The CD offers the ability to search for grants by keyword(s), in up to 5 simultaneous categories. This program is supplemented by a member's site, This site offers access to live chat support for assistance with any part of the application and proposal process or questions pertaining to the CD or the member's site. Also access to one of the largest grant data bases you can find anywhere. Where you can find both government and private grantors, the private foundation grants are ones you will not find with many grant information companies. It offers information from Dr. Porter who is a licensed and certified grant writer. The information that is offered through our members website is more extensive than what other companies sell in coaching programs that cost thousands of dollars. So we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. If you do decide that our members site will be useful for you in the future you can call customer service and reactivate your account. It also includes to fast action bonuses. The first fast action bonus is for Express Business Funding (EBF) is a 14 day free trial. This program is designed to help customers through each step necessary to obtain a loan for a small business. This includes researching and putting together a business plan, presenting that plan to the SBA, filling out a loan application, and anything else that may be needed along the way. After the trial it is a reduced monthly membership fee of $7.95 as you are already a member of another of our programs. The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda an affiliate company that offers an online date book that will allow you to keep track of your daily schedule and will even send you reminders to your cell phone. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the service and see the value of it for themselves before they are billed for it.

For customer service you may call 866-396-5694 Monday thru Friday 9am to 9pm Eastern Standard Time and they'll be happy to assist you.

Ryan R...I see you won't provide your last name...I don't blame you, I wouldn't either if I were associated with that company...I have had the same problem...I am on hold with their "Customer Service" department right now...in one breath, the rep told me their systems were being updated so I'd have to call back because they couldn't pull up my account...I told her no, there was no way a company updates their system at 10am on monday morning...miraculously, 2 seconds later she was able to pull up my account...now they are telling me there is a problem with their phone lines when trying to transfer to a supervisor...all of these are obvious tactics employed by this company to frustrate the people who they have swindled and figure eventually the majority will give up, and they will get to keep their money for providing no service.

In fairness...an update...I finally spoke to a "supervisor" after holding for 30 minutes...she tried valiantly to give me a spiel about how good the company is and the info, and offered to re-send the CD...I told her no thanks, just a credit will do...to which she obliged...will keep tracking to make sure I actually receive the credits.

I went through the exact same problem with Raven Media about a year ago. I finally was able to resolve it and get credit on my account. The problem I have with them now is that apparently they sell your email address to other companies so I get junk mail offers from other companies all the time. This has been going on for a long time and it seems when you opt out my junk email just increases. I don't knowingly subscribe to any advertising but I get 27 to 85 spam mails each day. It's bad enough that you pay a service provider a hefty fee for internet access and are subjected to tons of advertising from the search engine you use but all the sites are loaded with ads and little content.
