The more requests I read from different people needing help in funding, and the more I see concerning how some folks got the grant but now they cant get into the business they want because of non-government businesses, the more I am convinced that Grants are few and far between( if they do exist)
Its a shame no one can really go the ABC Route. What i mean by that is ,,,Remember when you went to school and the teacher would say, "in order to do this you need to ",.A Make a diagram( reference to naming the differents parts of speach for example.) B. A sentence needs a verb and a noun. C......
You get the picture. So far no one has said, "In order to get a grant, you need to "......
If I knew what it took to tell people how to write a grant request, I would. that is after I got a grant myself, just to know it works. 
There are too many scam artists in this grant business. They take your money, then you never hear from them again.
If anyone has written a successful grant request and have gotten their request filled, maybe they could teach the rest of us :Free of Charge of course.
Maybe someone has done this. I have missed the message though. I sure could use some money myself to start a business , but I need a Grant to do this. I would help out a friend with this, who desperately needs help. She has the brains for managing the business, once it got started. She could fill out the paperwork as long as no fee is involved.
