Is there any way my frat. could qualify for non-profit grants? Where do I find info. on these?
I was just elected treasurer not long ago and the morons in front of me have let people’s debt and unpaid expenses build up over the years and I am stuck trying to turn everything around. Where is a place that would give me information for non-profit grants in WV (Huntington)? And don’t even start with the frat comments, screw the sterotypes, I work to pay my own college and expenses and so do many of my friends, and we don’t wanna get screwed over.
Thanks!

First, you have to qualify to be a non-profit organization. This is a rather tedious process and can take up to a year (I’m assuming that your frat has already jumped through all those hoops). After you have gone through that process, you have to show (on paper and at the bank) that your organization is responsible with funds already given to it. This includes non-profit quarterly tax filings, and a financial statement. When you have your bank statements, tax filings and financial statements ready, you will have countless possibilities to chose from. Many universities themselves will quickly recognize and assist a local fraternity when shown that the fraternity is responsible. Your City Manager’s office can also be a wealth of information on grants for non-profits. And don’t forget to check out your local Chamber of Commerce– they’re always loaded with clients waiting to do good somewhere. Good Luck!

The frat is associated with the university, yeah? I don’t think the frat itself can apply for grants. It would draw funds from the university. Then again, I’ve never been in a frat so I’m just making assumptions.
