Can you get an individual grant if you are unemployed?

It really is going to have to depend on the type of grant that you want! If you need help with paying utility bills for example then there are government grant programs that can help you.

You also mention that you are unemployed so you should also realize that there are grant programs to help you train for another job or to help you start your own business.

You have to be more specific about what type of grant program you are looking for???
