Hello: I have just started a grant writing coarse and am halfway through it, was wondering if any successful grant writers out there can give me any input on reserach, networking, any programs that are helpful I know there is alot of work and time involved. Any input would be helpful. Fopr starters we have started a non-profit to bring native american elders and youth together as one as opposed to seperate programs a cultural exchange if you will. So any info pertaining to this area of grant writing expertise would be desired. I thank you for your time! And may you walk in strength and beauty eternal!

As One Inc. an non profit corp. was formed in March of 2005. We seek to provide shelter for 6-8 homeless adults who have mental disorders. Providing nutritional meals positive direction for a better future. With the assistance of staff we shall also provide self motivation and goal setting and problem solving technics for job readiness and extended education under the direction Of Clark County Adult Education. Our staff shall tutor and provided one on one and group sessions . We will also provide transportation to and from outside services such as Medical appointments & Mental Health counseling. We shall use extensive expertise in needs assessment of program planning, money management and daily charting and evaluation to help identify problems. Our main funding shall come from grants, donations. The small amount of monies from residents social security checks cannot fund our entire program as they would need some monies for personal care. We need monies for transportation to and from appointments, trainng and wages, for our staff, housing and upkeep payments and supplies.. We would like to help residents to become responsible independent or semi independent adults. Currently their are 2 unpaid staff, between the both of us we have almost 40 years of Management and Mental Health experience, But no, know how in writing grants or how to obtain funding. We are both physically disable do to seperate misfortunes and are not able to work full time, But we plan to divide the time along with the help other staff. With our motivation and determination we can encourage our residents to push forward and be positive.
Am developing innovative process that addresses archaic, ineffective services provided within secure environments.This process adresses concerns related to contraband search, bio-terror threats, terrorist recruitment, language translation, coded criminal content and evidence and investigation capabilities.
This innovative process has the support and endorsement of respected correctional field professionals as: " one of the best technology ideas I've reviewed in twenty years!"
So why is it that I can find no recources for help with development? Every professional who has reviewed this concept has agreed to the potential impact not only to current practices, but also the collateral advantages such as resource development (money generated from and invested back into prisons). The current archaic systems in place generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual spending, with the huge profits going to private business, and only a small percentage of "legal kickbacks" being returned to the system!
Every day we are bombarded with new doomsday statistics about "not enough money for prisons" but never about the almost criminal profits realized by these secretive vendors with the "sweetheart contracts".
My process offers a fair profit to the private sector, but more importantly offers vast improvements to the safety and effectivness of required services AND a tremendous funding resource to the arena that creates the revenues to begin with.
I need help with the system architecture design, niche market advertising, commercialization, business plan etc.
