Hello Everyone,
I am a new business owner that has been in operation for 2years, in the
process of opening up a youth center in the Georgia Area. I have all of my
documents up to date, including our 501c3. We are in the process of trying to
find a building either to lease, or rent as we began some of our programs,
mentoring, tutoring, and after school programs for youth ages 13-17. Does
anyone have any ideas on where I could find a grant for these type of
programs?
Your best bet for a program like yours is to look for grants offered by
private businesses and foundations in your area. Many large, national banks
have local grants programs. Your local library may have a funding resource
center where you can find information on grants available to non-profits in
your geographic area.
Why Gov grants only aimed for the science and medical research? would it not
be nice for the gov grants to help minority seeking to start new business? I
am looking to start a business here in the State Arizona, and it proves to be
difficult to get any grants even from none profit orgs, what can I do at this
juncture to start?

Federal grants are typically aimed at specific industries and targeted causes identified by the government, such as scientific and medical research, conservation efforts, and so on. Check out this blog for more information. But other options, like loans, may be available to help. Good luck!
