The Whirlpool Corporation is again running it’s Whirlpool Brand Mother of Invention Grant program. If you are a mom with a great product innovation, invention, service or business idea, you should enter this competition.
What kind of idea you ask–well, make sure you don’t send any ideas about appliances. Those will be disqualified. Whirlpool is looking for all new product innovation, invention, service or business ideas except those about appliances or appliance components.
According to the website, ” the 2007 Whirlpool Brand Mother of Invention Grant will provide moms with the necessary business resources, such as seed money and expert advice, helping to make business dreams a reality”.

Most of us in the United States have seen the infomercials or received emails claiming to have information about “free” government grants available to start a business.
If use of the word “free” in the same sentence with “grant” does not clue you in that this is a scam, then please know that the U.S. Federal Government does not offer grants of this sort to individuals.
There are, however, many other sources of free money available to new and established small business owners. Over the next several weeks, I’ll list information about some of these programs here on the blog. Stay tuned.
