I was reading a local newspaper today and I read of local government projects that would be eliminated due to decreased tax revenue as a result of the current economic downturn.  While it is true that tax revenues are down, that does does not mean that all of the projects need to be eliminated.  Nowhere did the story ever mention the local government applying for grant money.  It could be that the author did not know of an application for grant money, or it could be that the local government did not apply for grant money.  Many of the projects listed for the chopping block are projects that have the possibility of being awarded grant money for funding.  

There is grant money available from the Federal Government, State Government, and private foundations just waiting to be claimed.  Many people, including local government leaders, do not know where to go to ask for grant money for project funding.  This is where we come in.  Our staff are very familiar with sources of grant money, and how to apply for it.  There is a possibility that a project you thought needed axed can be saved by funding with grant money.  

Contacy our staff today to discuss funding your project with grant money.
