There are many questions circulating these days on how to
get grants to start up a small business or daycare.
Unfortunately I'm here to tell you that if you are a non-
profit daycare finding "free" money will be difficult.

But don't give up, just because the government is unwilling
to supplement a business start ups cost doesn't mean that
it's totally hopeless. It is your duty to be creative in
coming up with the supplies that you will need to start up
your business.

In the home study course,

many of these issues are addressed. Realistically you can
set up a very profitable business if you think a little
differently from everyone else.

One tip is non-profit independent child care business owners
can try a service called, "Foundation Grants to Individuals
Online".

This service is an online listing offering grants to
individuals in the U.S. To learn more you can go to
http://www.fdncenter.org. There is a charge of $9.95 per
month for this service.

Here are some important steps in finding childcare grant
money:

1. Do your due diligence and research. Your first step
should be calling your licensing bureau office, referral
agency, and child care organizations.

The other organizations that also should be called an are
affiliated with childcare are: Head Start, Child Care and
Development Fund, Social Services Block Grant, Child and
Adult Care Food Program, Even Start, Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act.

While these organizations are affiliated with childcare, you
also may be able to find an organization that would be
willing to grant you money. Keep into consideration
backyard organizations such as: Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, and
United Way.

Also, keep in mind corporations and businesses in your area.
Many a time I will enter a business and ask them if they
have anything they would like to contribute.

One example would be going to a paper factory, stationary
etc or any office that throws out paper. Remember, you need
paper for your daycare and would be able to utilize what
they consider trash.

2. After you have contacted the above mentioned
organizations your next step would be to request their
guidelines and applications. At this point and time
necessary information should be collected to determine
whether you and the funder are a good fit.

One research tool that would help you in your determination
would be Grant Smart

3. Write a description of your need for money. You will
have a discuss why you need the money and what your purpose
will be for those funds.

Other questions that you should be asking yourself is, why
should the project be done?, how long will it take?, how
much it will cost?, who will do the work?, and most of all,
how will it impact the quality of childcare you will
provide?

4. Prepare your proposal letter. Your letter will
encompass and expand on why you need the grant funds, and
what your purpose is behind it, and how it will benefit your
program. Be sure to include any statistics and
demographics that will influence your cause.

Attach any letters of support from parents, people in the
community advocating your project. As well, make sure that
you have fine tuned any financial numbers or budget
considerations for this project.

5. Be patient and organized. Make sure that all your
papers are organized into folders; there will be a time that
you will need to wait. Fund organizations do receive other
proposals so be patient

Are you looking for the proof that I really make that kind
of money? Would you like to meet some successful daycare
owners? Find out more about opening your own day care.
