do you have to have a degree
Grant-giving Foundations and federal government will not really look whether you have a degree or not when applying for grant money. To be able to get grant awards, you need to be 501C(3) certified from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/index.html
Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.
The best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it’s a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.
If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.
CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

basically, you have to find out about the grants. and they’ll give you a list of things they need for an application.
obviously, you’ll have to write out a grant to the company/person you’re applying to which can be long and tedious. so hiring a grant writer might be beneficial.
it may take a while to hear back from them and actually receive a grant. but don’t woory, you’re bound to get one eventually

It is called a 501C I believe. Forms should be available at the library, online, or through the post office or IRS.
You do not need a degree. But you better have a good business plan or you won’t be considered.
