A good starting point is to visit grants.gov they give you the applications, which you can work through to see if it is something you want to do as well as helps you learn what it is each grant expects.

Writing for grants is very time consuming and can be very technical. A good technical writing class would also help you.

Good luck~
Andrea

Thanks I will look at grants.gov and at our local colleges and community education to see there arew programs that teach about Non profits. I know this will be a hard part but it a upcoming area in business I believe. I would love to be a part of it!

Faye,

Ed2Go offers a whole section of classes - http://www.ed2go.com/cgi-bin/ed2go/n...gs.cgi?dept=GW. They have five or six beginning with Grant writing A to Z. The classes are around $125 and are usually 8 weeks online learn at your own pace. Also, check with your local community college since they usually offer these classes through them for $95.00
