Thanks WW, yeah, and I've done all that. I have books and links and info on where to find them, but looking at a screen or reading in a book isn't the practical help I need.
What I'm looking for is someone to talk straight to me, tell me exactly, show me an actual form, tell me how much it costs, generally, etc. Answer my questions with more than "there is SO much money out there"
Thank you
Effective June 1, it's an agency that will serve as a 'go between' for clients needing services and the places that have the services.
The first place I look is http://foundationcenter.org . You can use the free search by state, zipcode or name. The key is to pull up their IRS 990 form. On that you can find (usually page 9) giving history, deadlines, if they accept unsolicited proposals and guidelines. You can also find who they funded that year and see if you are the type of group they will consider. Some even include a copy of their application as an attachment.

I think she is asking about where do you find what grants are available -- the amounts, categories, deadlines
I may be wrong but don't they usually show up in industry--career--field publications...
Can one google for a specific kind of grant Karmicdebt?
