Answer 1

I'm in the U.K. I received funding for a project from Capital Volunteering. The Government set aside a pool of money which is given out by Capital Volunteering for community projects.

Hope that helps.

First, figure out what issues you are most interested in programming. Then, if you already have 501(c)3 status (non-profit) you are set to begin looking for grant agencies whos funding guidelines match what you are trying to accomplish. If you don't, you will have a much harder time trying to find foundations that fund for profit businesses.

501(c)3 status isn't that hard to accomplish. I personally founded Michigan's only non-profit missing persons organization. I did the 501(c)3 paperwork myself and now it's a fully recognized organization and has been for almost 5 years.

To begin looking at funding agencies, do a "foundation" search for the issues you are trying to get funded. There are several foundations out there that will help you.

My best advice to you is that when you write your letter of intent and your grant proposals that you follow the foundation's requirements to the letter. If you screw up AT ALL, your proposal will go in the garbage and someone else will get those dollars.

First decide your aims and goals. Then form a charity, get some brochures printed; open the charity bank account to process funds;all funds donated will have to be receipted; get radio interviews, visit local businessmen for funds/sponsorship. Get people interested in doing charity events like sponsored parachuting, cycling,swimming to raise funds etc. That should get you started. Good luck.

www.usgrants.gov, is a good place to look. The government gives grants for people like you looking for funding for some sort of research project.
