1701, grants for people with disabilities
Posted by Wes, Wed Mar-25-09 05:13 AM
Newbie here...
Looking for ideas on where to look for grants available to individuals with disabilities starting a business, and also for a business directed towards helping individuals with disabilities.

I'm really excited (and determined-finally) on getting this business up-and-running!

Glad I found this site, and I hope to frequent it often and get and perhaps give some advice along the way.

My advice, for you would be a fairly simple idea of starting a non profit corp. it is through the irs.gov. for forms etc. yes they want money for filing etc. if you can become a 501.c 3. nonprofit. you can still cut yourself a paycheck.. the laws vary you have to study and learn.some..for a fact. the leader of the red cross makes about a mill a year.. that means they get a lot of donation.. Hershey choclolate company is a non profit co. so think a little befor u shrug it off.. I had a small nonprofit. my problem. no one else interested in my small town..good luck. c.:-)
