I'm trying to get a grant to open up a barbershop for people that may not be qualified to get jobs in certain areas due to their records and past history, also for students that are just graduating from high school and have succeeded in barber traits that want to pursue their dream.
Firstly, I'd like to know a few things:
Do you have current funding?
What is your current ($ figure) need for funding?
How many applications are you seeking?
Are the granting agencies chosen already?
Have you worked with these bodies in the past?
Do you have partners that you can ask for "In-kind" contributions that will bolster an application?
In the last year I've finished 11 applications for Funding (Federal, Provincial and Not-for profit). I've secured funding on 5 of 11, and all 11 were forwarded for further review (3 currently under evaluation). I'd love to discuss this with you in more detail to establish a relationship working on grant applications into the future.
