Aidpage

Today I began my search for grants.  I am currently in my fourth hour of research and still have yet to find a grant for my business.  Yes, I'm looking for grant money to aid in the start up of my business.  I don't want loans because I don't want to deal with debt on top of trying to start a business.  I've searched for small business, women's, and minority grants.

 I did download, Federal Money Retreiver, for free.  It's a nice tool, but I still haven't found any grants that pertain to my business.  My search will continue and I will locate what I'm looking for. 

 I also need to practice writing grant proposals. I've read a lot of material in the hours I've searched today so I'm off to a great start on grant writing.  There's really no need to pay someone to write up a grant proposal unless you truly don't have the time to learn and do it on your own.  Saving every dollar I can at this point is extremely important to me.

Hello: I have just started a grant writing coarse and am halfway through it, was wondering if any successful grant writers out there can give me any input on reserach, networking, any programs that are helpful I know there is alot of work and time involved. Any input would be helpful. Fopr starters we have started a non-profit to bring native american elders and youth together as one as opposed to seperate programs a cultural exchange if you will. So any info pertaining to this area of grant writing expertise would be desired. I thank you for your time! And may you walk in strength and beauty eternal!
