I'am looking for a grant to build a safe house for women and there childeren from abusive fathers?

Answer 1

Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.

The best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.

If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.

CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

But first you must organize yourself as a non profit 501(c)3 organization to qualify for most grants

Answer 2

Go to a search engine and check for Government Agencies. That's where you'd get the best Grant info. And a big kudos for you by building this safe house, that is great.
Wish oyu the best.

Answer 3

There's many agencies out there that do this already. Talk to them and ask them who they are funded by. Since they are probably non-profit organizations, they legally have to disclose their funding sources. This will give you an idea of where you can go for funding.

When you present your proposal offer something more than what is already out there. No one will fund you if you are only offering what other agencies are already doing successfully as it's too much of a risk. Find something more to offer and you increase your chances of securing funds. A safe house for mothers that offers vocational rehabilitation and school assistance is likely to get more funding than just a place to sleep.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

That is a wonderful goal, I wish you the best of luck with it. I have been thinking of doing the same thing.
