kidlizard Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I was wondering if anyone else has applied for any grants. I am just starting to research the idea and thought someone may be able to lead me down the right path. I know there is tons of money given to small businesses every year, but I am not sure how to get it. Any help will be appreciated.

Nathan Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Kid, Grants are a great idea.The police dept. I use to work for used grants all the time.One word of advice,take a grant writing class.The paper work is very tedious(spelling) and one minor screw up and it's all over. The money you spend on a class is a great investment,both in time and money spent.After you write your own grant,you can write them for others for a fee!!..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Nathan, Where would you take a grant writing class? I dont believe I have ever heard of one. What about some of these software packages you can buy online to help with grants? Any knowledge of those? Do you know anyone who would charge us a fee to write a grant application for us?

Nathan Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Alot of times these classes maybe offered at a junior college.With federal funding drying up, all your public service offices are using grants.Call your local police or sheriffs office,Welfare,housing etc. And ask who writes their grants and talk to them.They should be able to point you in the right direction for your location.They may even be willing to write it for you..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
