Where can I get information on small business grants for women and minorities in the U.S.?

Question by Leah_W: Where can I get information on small business grants for women and minorities in the U.S.?
What is the best website to get info on small business grants for minorites and women? I am looking into opening a small business but I need some financial backing. I have looked through several websites but they always want you to pay for their services. Isn’t there a government website where I can get this info without having to pay a third party company?
Any help would be appreciated.
