To pay for Matthew Lesko’s suits.
Seriously, the cost is surely reasonable if you have a snowballs chance of getting the grant in the first place. As for whether or not it should or shouldn’t be free – I don’t want my tax dollars going towards providing you with a list of grants – I probably don’t want my tax dollars going towards your grant at all.
I’m also fed up with the feds – they take all of my money to give it away to people who don’t deserve it.

because it’s a scam.
Grants dot gov should lead you to where you want to go. But, with every grant there are rules so, be truthful because if you twist the truth you will have to pay it back or face prison time.
Never pay…not even for a Grant writing program….another scam.

Because those companies are worthless.
Contrary to what they want you to believe, the government does not give grants to people to pay bills, debt or other personal expenses.
Those companies are just trying to get money out of you.

Because you are NOT going to the right place.
You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov – these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.
Even if you buy books on “how to get grants” or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.
Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs
