I got started doing grantwriting work when I was looking for resources to help my mother and other family members. I was quite surprised at the number of programs that were available - some of them requiring no more than filling out a few forms. As I started to work from home other people starting asking me about how they could work from home and that began my consulting business. There were lots of "stories" about grants so I decided to find out for myself what the truth was and the truth was (and still is) that there are grant programs out there for just about any endeavor whether it be for-profit or non-profit! I have gotten many individual grants for others so I know that the programs are out there. So then one day someone called me a scam and that let me know right there that I had chosen the right career! People want the information but they don't want to take the time and effort to find it and that is just what they are going to have to do if they want to apply for these grant programs. I really couldn't be objective on the courses because I took my own route as far as the grantwriting is concerned. Nothing is more better than actual experience and actual results. Every individual has a different story/circumstance and truly you will have to decide for yourself.

Well it all depends on what it is you're looking for. If its help with bills - especially utility bills - then there are programs out there to help you and other people. There are also a number of organizations that provide "financial emergency grants" - but you have to prove need. I doubt that there isn't at least 1 or two programs (at the very least) that you are eligible for. The problem just seems to be in finding the information. but it is out there.

I think it's great what you did. You decided to do something and you did it.You do girl. I went to uncle sam's money and searched for hours. I was totally confused and didn't think I was finding what I needed. Asked for a refund. They just give me a run around. I've done hours of searching but everything I've found I don't seem eligible for. happygirl69
