Im looking to obtain government contract and funding on a state of the art publically toured exotic animal facility.
There is a very high demand and need for Primate facilities in the USA As the low number of Sanctuaries are full to capacity and the federal government have ownership over several primates in facilities.
When they retire they have no place to go to fullfill their future lives.Usually become euthanized or placed into extended testing then euthanized.
The Exhibit would act as a safe haven home for the life of the Exotic animals and be a for profit organization.We would accept animals from the zoos,pet trade as pets,medical research labs,entertainment industry etc.
We would accept Contributions,donations,will of estates,charges for estimated lifetime care of animals on relinquished animals from the public,research facilities as well as spay neuter contract and transportation costs to be covered by relinquishing party. as well as educational tours for school children and professional guided tours for corporate and individual groups etc.
We have several ways of making revenue once were established and in place on a piece of land and have buildings and housing in tact..
I have a business plan in tact,blueprints written and everything ready to go but the funding and security to get started. Im Currently working with Exotic Parrots and Primates in my area. you may view a bit about what we do as a non profit at http://indianalargebirdrescue.bravehost.com or
We have our EIN number and have an attorney applying for non profit 501c3 status and incorporation in what were doing for the meantime until funding is available or contributions for phase 1 of the Exhibit begin.At that point we will go for profit and close the non profit status or donate the animals to the new facilty.This has been an all out of pocket expense and we have yet to receive any contributions to date.Any information on how to get to the right sources to apply for the financing we need or to contract bids on primates the government own please send me information to my email or directly to site contacts. thanks for readuing my venture and i highly appreciate everyones goals in life.
I think if you want to obtain government funding, you're better off doing so with a non-profit than a for profit. Then again, if what you're saying is true and there is indeed a demand for a such a facility, then it's possible to get funding even for a for profit business.

This is a noble effort and I hope you are successful in your endevors to find funding.
