500.00 Claim Your Merchandise Voucher
I attended a seminar some time ago where vouchers had been sent via mail to certain participants. As it turns out; online was the best way for me to try to redeem the voucher but the website expired 10DEC009. The voucher was not to expire until December 31. 2009. $500.00 is $500.00! How may this be corrected so that I may utilize this voucher

You might want to investigate the policies of the National Grants Conference. They are changing the rules in the middle of the game. Initially, you only needed to sustain your account paying $30.00 per month. Now they are demanding $100.00 per month. Sounds like bait and switch...who is investigating these guys...they have a grocery coupon thing going on also
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Bait and switch scam!
Attended seminar which told us they guaranteed we would get a grant. High pressure selling, manipulative tactics. Made it sound like they would do your business plan or at least walk you through it. When paying for two day workshop. They gave me a statement saying I could cancel in 3 days no questions asked. However, the workshop was not for 5 days after the seminar. It was only at the workshop did we find out they were really selling their software and more "Help" to get your grant. This was not what they salesman was saying in the seminar. The additional software which supposedly would make it impossible for anyone to be denied a grant with all their assistance cost up to $19,000. For all you were promised you would get for the initial $1000/ + tax we had already paid. Some people (with more money than sense) actually bought into this on the second day when the so called teacher kept
on with his sales program. Assuring everyone it was a write off, business expense...
But if you are trying to get a grant for a business? Anyway, this 2 day workshop turned out to be little more than common sense and a sales platform for their PRO 2000 package.
We LEFT!

People please listen to me... Auction Teacher, Unimweb, Ihost, NGC are all a SCAM!
Do not do business with them.
If you already have a store with them and are having issues just go to the BBB, they do respond to them.
we too went and got scammed. not only did they scam us out of this the "introduced" Auction teacher who also scammed us.
I attended a National Grants seminar in Arlington, TX one year ago. We sent receipts all 2009 to claim your merchandise.com for 500.00. Instead we received nothing. Called the National Grants ph# and could not reach a real person. If there is a way to get the $500, please tell us. chfan1@
So who wrote the positive remarks? NGC? I have yet to meet one person who has attended any of the NGC meetings that has received one day of assistance from them. You are introduced to persons who claim to be from NGC and they will give you more misleading information with no actual guidance to complete one transaction. They do not reply to the phone messages, email messages, send you reviews of your applications for grants or any other type of funding. We are seeking a refund and will look into a class action suit here in Indiana. Standing before us claiming to be a Christian and want to do all they can in a Christian manner is so shameful.
Our books are outdated and useless, the software does not work in Indiana, although we were assured this would be corrected and new software would be issued. That has NOT happened. Anyone interested in joining us please post here and we will continue to get this scammer stopped.
How come Rita and Heather said the same exact thing? lol
Its a scam and they forgot to change the dialog!
Looks like the folks at National Grants are spamming this thread with positive reviews...
Sorry for double posts
I learned how to search and apply for rehab grants with National Grants Conferences. We were able to install a new furnace, air-conditioning coils, water heater, a brand new front entrance way door, new kitchen sink, and had all new insulation blown into the attic along with remodeling the roof and new shingles. The seminars were very informative and the staff was polite and supportive. They really care! I can't image why more people don't use this program.
I went to the conference with my mother and learned a lot. The workbooks and CD’s were powerful and opened my eyes to the possibilities of what a little determination and hard work coupled with the education and support of National Grants Conferences could do. I was able to receive a $25, 000 first time home buyer loan. It’s only a 700 sq. ft. condo, but after 40 years of living in America, I can finally say that I finally have a place of my own. NGC may not be for everyone, but it was certainly for me!
I found the staff at National Grants Conferences to be very caring and informative. They assisted me in getting my home repaired. I am a single mother of two and just completed my degree. Money has been tight while I have been in school and the things around my house that needed repair were being neglected. I applied for an owner rehabilitation loan through the city and because of my low income; I qualified to have over $15, 000.00 of repairs completed. Best of all, I don’t have to make any payments on the loan until my income increases. When that occurs, my loan will only accrue at 3% interest. They were very proactive about showing me the various programs that are available to help those of us who are struggling to live from paycheck to paycheck. Thank you guy's for all you do!
