Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Finwise Finder is free to use, and so are the partner resources we send you to. Official government program information is also free at USA.gov.
Is Finwise Finder a government agency?
No. Finwise Finder is an independent information and referral website. We are not affiliated with any government agency or program, and we do not decide who qualifies for any program.
Will I get a grant or money?
We can't promise that. Eligibility is decided by each program, and most programs have rules about income, location or other factors. We help you find information so you can check for yourself.
Will this affect my credit score?
No. This is not a loan or credit application and there is no credit check.
What happens to my information?
We use it to show you relevant resources and, only if you opt in, to email you tips and offers. We may be paid by partners when you visit them. See our Privacy Policy.
