Church funding: A building, (Looking to build in south carolina) .Music equipment,(PA systems, speakers, mics, chairs, tables, Land with a building a portable building or both. Something to get started. We are a new ministry getting started.

As a religious organization, your only option is your congregation for donations. When going to your congregation, don’t stress the need — stress WHY the music equipment, building, etc., will help you reach more people with your message.

Federal grant money is available for some programs that are based in religious institutions, but these programs must address a particular non-religious issue (drug use, for instance) and need to be well established, well-run, with excellent financial records and a proven track record of results. Do NOT start a program with the idea that you are going to get grant money — it doesn’t work that way.


I need to update my 56 year old home. My kitchen has stove and ovens that can not be repaired because no parts are available.I am retired on a fixed income. My vehicle has 226,000 miles on it and need to go green for better gas mileage.

The question should not be how to write the perfect grant proposal, but how to find a grant you qualify for. Because contrary to popular belief the government just doesn’t give out cash to individuals who want to fix up their house, repair their car or put on a new roof.

Fixed income or no, anything you find is a scam and will want you to pay money for FREE GRANT information. It is not real… I repeat it is NOT real. The only government grant available directly to individuals is called the PELL grant and it is actually for poor college students, and even then, it doesn’t go to the individual, but to their school.

Your best bet is to save money and visit Lowe’s or Home Depot when you have enough saved. It will be faster than looking for a grant opportunity that does not exist.

This video shows you how to get set up to do grants with the proper governmental registrations, agencies, etc. It takes a portion of the Government Funding and You Series. At the end it shows you how to put everything together and get an answer back from the government on-line.
