Hello; does anyone know on how to get a grant that you don't have to payback. I need it to fix my house I run a business from home. And we have a large family of 7.

I'm going to go out on a limb her and say you don't. People don't just give money away unless it is some form of charity and they feel it is needed. Usually to help with your kids. You may want to speak with your church or other local civic groups.
Grant isn't the right term though. Charity or gift is more accurate.

There really is no such thing, There are programs for low interest loans in certain areas ( normally never poor inner city neighborhoods) There are programs for the elderly and disabled.
Buit for a regular working person no there is no free money just to fix your home up. You can look into tax credits for doing energy improvements and sometimes programs from the gas or electric company to help with new items.
