My proposal for a $25,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Everything program. If I win, I will create a free green training program for disadvantaged Washington DC youth. Once completed, their training and certification will allow them to find jobs and start a career in the rapidly expanding clean energy economy.

Please support me by visiting my blog at

We are a certified apprenticeship 501(c)(3) program in search of funds to continue and upgrade our training and retraining program.

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. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . It’s a subscription based website ($19.95 per month is the cheapest I think)

Where can I apply for Grants that are available for training and retraining in non-profit institutions?

If you want to see if another DCCCD campus offers a similar course, you can go to http://dcccd.edu and then click on the various campus names.

I happen to know that the Grant Writing courses at Brookhaven College are included in the Continuing Education Program. I don’t know if there are credit courses along these lines. I suppose there would be in their business program.

Hope this helps!

How do I go about getting a grant to fund a year at a Personal Training school so that I can change careers?

Let’s start by assuming that you have good writing skills, the capacity to think logically, a bit of ability at persuasion, and proper business comportment. Those are your initial qualifications.

Successful grant-writing involves knowing who offers grants for your client, then approaching those grant sources to ask for guidelines for applicants, and finally following those guidelines to the letter. Establishing yourself as a successful grant-writer, networking with the officers in charge of grant approval, and knowing specific ‘buzz words’ that can enhance your application’s chances are advanced skills.

There are grant-writing workshops out there, if you want to pay for one. I would not bother with seeking out specific college degrees–grant-writing is a field where your success rate is all that matters.

To get started, I’d suggest contacting local charities that you like, and asking them if you can volunteer to help with grant-writing. Eventually one will hook you up with whoever they currently employ, and you can start to learn the ropes and hone your skills there. After you get credit for helping with some successful grants for several charities, you can start to consider volunteering to be the lead grant-writer on some applications. Once you have a solid record of success, you are ready to start applying for paying jobs.

First you have to apply to become a 501c3 organization. It is a long process – I’ve been at it for almost 2 years.

Once approved you can look for grants. No use in looking now, as what is available in 2 years won’t be available now.

You need a solid business plan, and then you apply to be a 501c3 based upon your plans. Then you wait for them to approve it – average wait 18 months. Then with your 501c3 status you can apply for grants, but not before.
