The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

The first place to start looking for funding is your local hispanic chamber of commerce.  The commerce is comprised of business owners, I'm certain some of the members will be interested in donating time or money.  Before approaching the chamber I would compile relevant documents such as financial reports, pro-forma...etc. regarding this project.  I would also be prepared to pitch your organization.

Go to your local library...I can't think of the name of the book but I'm sure they will know what your talking about.  They have a book that is full of different grants offered to people for various reasons.  It's unbelievable the organizations out there that are willing to help if you just look.

There area lot of corporations looking to fund noble HBCU causes in education. Look up the large companies in TX and send a letter to the Communications or PR departments with a proposal. I think you've got a good shot at it.

First, if you're going to solicit funding, you should find a more appropriate venue.\n\nSecond, if you're going to solicit funding in English, you should at least make sure that your sentences are grammatically sound.  Let's start this new education system by having you educate yourself on what is and is not appropriate in Yahoo! answers.\n\nThirdly...no, I cannot help you "financially to our great mission" whatever that means.

Here's an alternative for you to consider.  Because funding is already spread out so thin, you would be better off volunteering to help with an established project instead.  Most organizations are crying for people to help.\n\nFind the Volunteer Match in your area, and apply.

Make a calendar of all the hot babes & hunks (in whatever poses you think will sell) in your school and sell them to the population.(2 calendars, one babe, one hunk) While this is going on, you now sell raffle tickets whose first prize(s) is a dinner/disco date with any one of the calendar models. If a calendar is not feasible since it is April, then maybe produce a colored magazine of them instead. Who knows, you may be able to sell the magazine off campus and make bigger bucks. Be sure to include the reason you are raising funds. Show pictures of orphans and a sample school buiding for maximum impact.\n\nIf ever you find my suggestion noteworthy, could you send me a copy of the magazine?

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. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online.

Go to the public library and ask them. You can find info on writing a grant proposal or someone/place already giving away such money. Good luck.
