Grants
Every agency looks for grants to help them get the equipment and training to do their jobs better, but it’s not always easy to find the right grant to go after, or to win one. The links below will give you a starting point for the process.
Writing a grant can be a daunting process. However, there are people who can do much of the work for you; professional grant writers have experience in building winning proposals, and can help take some of the pain out of the process. In addition, sometimes in larger grants they can write their compensation into the grant itself to make their work more affordable.
Here are some sources for grant information that will help get you started if your budget won’t stretch to cover your needs:
