I do know that in my local community, local government has helped organize a new non-profit service provider then turned around and contracted for service from them. It's not exactly a development grant, but it got the non-profit provider off the ground.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would expect that if the local/state government service providers saw a deficiency in your community for a specific service that your proposed organization would offer that they thought was a high priority, I would think a small development grant might be available.
