Hello, we are a non profit organization whose mission is to help Veterans
gain the experience, training, certifications and connections necessary to
return to work in the civilian IT field while performing IT consulting
services to support the local community, organizations and businesses. We are
operating on very limited funds and would like to expand in order to help
even more veterans. To that end, we a requesting help with locating,
applying for and hopefully receiving a grant to help financially towards
achieving this goal. Any help or information about potential grants, or the
grant application process would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
Have you obtained your 501 c3 status from the IRS? If so, you may qualify for
grants offered by foundations and corporations. It will take some time and
effort to find such grants and you must follow the application guidelines
exactly. A resource librarian at your public library may be able to help.
Most such grants are for limited amounts, generally under $10,000, so you
will be constantly looking for them and applying.

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. The following page on Veteran-Owned Businesses may also be a good resource too. Good luck!
