Hi, Thats a good thing you are doing. I don't know much about grants but I think Schmidty on his posts has information about grants. He is the gentlemen his avatar he is wearing the black hat. If you would see to your right you would see contributors just click on his picture and it would take you to his posts. This is just a thought but my daughter and others had a fund raisers for her church youths so they would not take from the church and raised their own. They held a car wash for the day with lots of baked goods for sale. It helped them. Even if not alot at least it is a start. Get all your friends and neighbours together and ask if they would like to help this way. Just a thought.
Wishing you all the best in seeking your seed money for your non-profit organization.
