Always check out a company through the Better Business Bureau: http://search.bbb.org/\n\nFor a nonprofit, use one listed with the NFCC or AICCCA: http://www.debtadvice.org/takethefirststep/locator.html\nhttp://www.aiccca.org/ \n\nFor self-help guidance, consult the debt articles on Bankrate.com. All the advice is free. Good luck!

Operating grants are hard to get. Foundations like to give directly to programs, not to fund overhead and operations. Try state, federal, and county sources of funding. Try also local and state councils of churches. \n\nGo to The Foundation Center for more help.

According to the Better Business Bureau's "Wise Giving Alliance" (give.org), Christian Children's Fund (CCF) meets the Twenty Standards for Charity Accountability.  For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, 81.32% of funds actually went to active projects; 11.19% went to pay for more fundraising; and 7.48% went to pay administrative costs.  That's pretty good.   \n\nThe American Institute of Philanthropy (CharityWatch.org) gave it an A.

I could not find an actual number. I did find a blogger's comment, given below:\n\n\nThe Salvation Army should be first among your charities during this season of Hurricane Katrina. Here's why.I once sat on a board to evaluate administrative overhead costs of hundreds of 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organizations.\n\nThe Salvation Army always had about the lowest admin burden.\n\nFor example:\n\nAmerican Red Cross, Marsha Evans earns $651,957.\n\nUnited Way, Ralph Dickerson Jr., president of the United Way of New York City, $420,000.\n\nGoodwill Industries, George W. Kessinger, $386,575\n\nSalvation Army, W. Todd Bassett $166,850\n\nand\n\nCatholic Charities USA, Thomas A. DeStefano, $116,362. \n\nSource:http://www.charmaineyoest.com/2005/09/the_salvation_army_and_hurrica.php

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!

Very few, if any, grants are for profit organizations.\n\nIf you are looking for resources for Grant writing for a nonproft/charity, there are a number of great resources at the Foundation Center website here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/individuals/\nand here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/propsample.html\n\nAn excellent book on grants is available called "The Only Grant Book You'll Ever Need" - you can check your local library, or go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786711752/qid=1147652536/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-4137422-0022349?n=507846&s=books&v=glance\n\nThese resources should prove helpful even if you are looking for other types of grants.
