Hi Group! I just started a non-profit in honor of my beautiful daughter, who was a member of DivaCafe before she passed away. I am hoping to give and receive helpful information on funding for businesses and non-profits. How is the new year going for everyone?

@Janene,

 

Thank you for the welcome! 

 

Organo Gold is an online coffee business that using the cost effective network distribution system to deliver these Ganoderma products:

• black coffee
• cafe latte'
• mocha latte'
• hot chocolate
• green tea
• Various Nutraceuticals (extracts and herbal supplements)

So this business is following in the foot steps of Amway.  You pay a fee and buy an opportunity package and market the coffee.

No need to apologize.  People join at different times and you can never answer enough questions about funding.  I love the name Java Jump Off... its very catchy.  I would need to know what type of business and its set up to be able to determine whether or not you could get funding..

Hello Janene!

 

I will apologise before hand if this question has been asked and addressed on here.  I just joined 3 minutes ago and have not had time to go through all the posts.

Are there any grants for business opportunities?  What i mean by that is that my business Java Jump Off is a mlm opportunity via OrganoGold.

Hello Everybody... Its that time of year again so lets start with the funding questions.  I know its been quiet but I am always here to help anyone who needs help with funing non profits.  I will be posting information this week on how to receive a Federal Exemption 501 C 3 for your non profit.

Hi Wren,

 

Unfortunately there is no one stop shop for grants. It is blind luck and a lot of research time (a lot). I would be cautious of the ones that promise tons a free money, that does not exist. Many grants will match you dollar for dollar. If you work with your local agricultural center they might have some information. In my area there is a group called ASAP and if you use one of their farmers for anything (maybe ingredients in a dog biscuit??) they will match you dollar for dollar on marketing expenses.

 

It will require hours of search time and tons of phone call to multiple agencies. Many will have no idea what you are talking about, some will be very helpful and direct you to other people.

 

I did find a grant that works for us, but it has taken months to find it. Now, I have to find a scientist that will work as a consultant before I can even begin to apply for the grant.

 

Non-profits and governmental sectors have the most access to grants and that type of information. These are the organizations I would contact first.

 

Good luck!

Hi, I'm looking for information for a friend who needs funding for her cat and ferret sanctuary. Is there a grant she can apply for? How do we start? Thanks,
Wren
