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.\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.

Contact your local Youth For Understanding office, they offer programs and scholarships in many cases. There are offices in almost every country around the world!  :)

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.

You need to talk to owners and managers of local businesses and tell them you have a youth basketball league and see if they would sponsor a team.

The first thing you need to do is to get a 501C3 status - that would make it easier for you to actively look for funds and apply for grants. Otherwise, your best bet is through private sponsorships

I would first start out by sitting down and writing out a simple outline/gameplan identifying what my goals were, how did I want to help, what would i consider "sucsess" and who did I want to help.From there you would have a better idea of where to look for help,etc.\n\nSay you wanted to have an afternnon mentoring program for toubled youths, where would you meet and what would you offer. Once you have your ideas roughed out, it will be easier to write a grant proposal. I also suggest contacting your local small buisiness admin about how and wher to seek grants and look at various govt websites.Just becareful of buisiness that offer to get your grant for you for a fee

go to to arc.org..under the Online Resource Center there is a link to "preparing grant proposals". You also might want to go to U.T for a weekend grant writing class. Good luck.

There are many legitimate sources for funding.  Do a complete research project since it is for yourself, and be sure you have a competent lawyer on your side.  There are many law firms that provide services on a sliding scale (according to your ability to pay)\n\nThe United states Government has sources that can help you for free.  Look at every avenue available to you thorough the internet. Look at the sources link I have provided for you.

I would suggest researching international grant companies.  They would be your best bet.  I do not know any off the top of my head that will offer funds to inter-national students, but if you do a little research you should find something.  Good Luck!
