Have you written a grant before and were denied funding?

i actually work at a nonprofit that consults other nonprofit organizations on how to write grants. im a bit hesitant to provide you all the answer to your 6 questions because i dont know you and dont want to put all that information over Yahoo! answers. \n\nbut there are numerous reasons why nonprofit organizations get denied grants. they range from not following directions to a grant being extremely competitive. the one project i am workiong, i have consulted over 20 organizations that are part of a 50 nonprofit applicant pool. and of those 50 applicants, only 5-10 grants will be awarded.\n\nusually grants are written specifically for particular grants. a lot of the language can be used for other grants but my advice is always cater your grants based on the funder and their funding priorities. never, ever use boilerplate language over and over again on different grants.\n\nmy suggestion for new grant writers is to find a mentor and just do it. you cannot get an undergraduate degree in grantwriting and the best way to learn is to read books on grants writing, attend workshops and classes, find a mentor to help, get to know as many program officers as you can, and write and write and write.\n\ngood luck.

It is a violation of the guidelines to advertise on Yahoo! Answers. If this is a legitimate organization, there are many other places to go for grant money.

I recieved the very same offer. I was scammed this time last year by a company named First Costal Systems offering the same type of grant. They passed the account information out to others, if you decide to accept the offer. Be aware that there is a checking account required, they will tell you that. They may also require a fee for processing the grant application.

A grant is income. You can take certain school expenses against that. They have credits given to students. Hope this helps.

Yes, grants are only issued to students who are need based, so if your family's income exceeds a certain amount, you may not be eligible for a grant. Loans and scholarships are still an option for you though! Hope that helps!

This has happened to me 2 or 3 times. They do pull your aid. I filled out a form for appeal, gave them doctor's statements and then the FA office meets and determines if you can still get it or not.

If you have to pay for a processing charge on a federal grant, don't sound right, I would avoid it

I suggest you work for a similar organization first.  Get into learning the process of writing grant proposals, how to gain funding, and study their business model so you can do something similar.

If you are looking for a steady income this may not be the career for you.  You can go a long time with no grants to write.  Its a difficult job and you have to do a lot of self promotion.

I gave up my one and only chance and hope to have a baby because my husband and I felt that someone else was more deserving of our grant.  We didn't think we would be bad parents.  The timing was all wrong and we felt selfish for holding onto the grant until we were ready and returned it, asking them to give it to another deserving couple.

Don't believe that, and throw the postcard away.\n\nThe only legitimate sources of information on grants is 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 objectives (if any).

Most likely a scam. First, IRS does not call anyone to say they qualify for anything. Second, IRS is not involved in grant giving process. Third, even if you qualify for a grant, you need to apply first and pass through the rigorous process of grant application.\n\nI suggest you do not entertain this caller and do not ever ever give any of your personal information.

Go to your local city clerk and/or county clerk and ask this question of them.  They will direct you to the appropriate local departments and agencies who will have the specific sources and procedures you require.  While there are some common sources, different localities will have unique sources or unique requirements.  An example is "Block Grant Funding which exists in many communities and is federal monies, however, it will be issued locally with unique local requirements.

I think you would have to write a proposal letter to who ever you're requesting a grant from.
