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 your purposes.\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.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most 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. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \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

Hi!\nYou are a team of 4 to 5 people,so investment is not a problem.\n\nTry this out:\n1. Give an ad in a newspaper that you need a 12 or 24 seater ready callcenter capacity. (OR) Call up people who had given ads like "Callcenter capacity available". This will give you an idea about the infrastructure rate that you may require to invest.\n\n2. Contact consultants who are ready to give project. Of course, you will have to give them some lumsome money.\n\n3. Employees is not an problem. You can easily get talented youngsters for a reasonably good pay.\n\nBut, these are the rules:\n"Start with a minimum investment", "Invest in phases",\n"Show good response to your employers"\n"First project is the God for you"

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.

Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. Grants have objectives, and the grant applications that best captures the grant's objectives are approved.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee composed of federal employees and selected experts in the field. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.\n\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

There are several ways to fund research and development and there are several "best" ways to fund a project but to properly do so, there needs to be more information involved. Such as the amount needed, target group, products projected successfulness. There are too many unknowns for this question. But try to get local investors for your project. Offer them an immidiate incentive as well as the monetary return.

You'd be better off vetting the existing charities and development organizations with a proven track record and choosing one that meets your criteria, then, raise funds in their support. A suggestion, try Googling NGOs and start your search that way. Good luck!
