Where can I find sources of funding: governement grants and foundations to help pay for the construction of a wheelchair ramp into a church that is used for a large number of community programs on a daily basis.

WHo would I go to? It would take a lot of money, and years to plan perfectly. I have alot planned already, It's non profit, would help thouseands of people, and other stuff.

I think I only need investors, who don't want the money back, or mabe donations,

I just realy need to know who to contact.

I just got my eagle papers back and I need to plan and set up a court of honor. I am not the type of person to come up with a program and do that type of thing. I am pretty nervous and stressed about it. So If anybody has any great ideas for me that would be great. Thanks.

Hello, I'm a high school student. I think I'm a nice person, but when I think about it, I don't think I make a big difference. I'm nice to people and friends at my school, but I'm not in any activities that help people such as volunteering at the hospital or anything. Are there any ways I can make differences in people's lives in everyday high school and life? Also, do you think being nice to someone can make their day? I want to make a difference.

It will bbe powered and sponsored by our youth committee? Need to keep budget low, and we can't charge people too much for the competition/event.

Something that will be fun and pleasant for youths (13-35) and my friend and I are thinking of involving our two junior colleges.

As the youth committee is a community association, we need to do something that is considered "okay" for the community?

We live in a rural community, and our church is trying to redecorate/remodel an old building that used to be our church. We want to make it a place that will give back to our community. The problem is we have a very low income right now. Do any of you know of an organization or company that can help us achieve this project?

I am a ninth grade Special Ed teacher. I am looking to both help my students with learning disabilities to become better writers and also help them become better human beings who understand more about the world around them. I want them to see a wider world and to learn to care for their fellow man. I would like to do a project focused on letters and small care packages to soldiers wounded in the wars in Afghanastan and Iraq. I would like to then take the letters and packages to the soldiers at Walter Reed myself but do not know if I can have clearance to do so. Does anyone know what I would have to do to be able to visit the hospital and give these tokens of our support to individual soldiers? Thanks.
