Thanks for your time.
I have been trying to apply for a non-pay back grant. It was not a lot of money I had send but they would lead you to think that it is possible to get a grant and they never send the information.I am SBA class now and then I want to take a paralegal class is going cost over $6,000 this class is through Penn foster and they are the cheapest in this area.
i am person whom cares about the people and its community. i priorities to help the other people that are in need. I am senior in my high school and am the class president. currently i am looking for money to achieve my goal of becoming a doctor to help the people.
I am just going bac to work but i need to get retrained and Voch Rehab is taking it’s time So i called SSD and i ended up calling the Career Center for help and you woul be surprized hoiw much betterthey are then Voch Rehab and their long waiting list. And you can still use the ticket to work program to help with cost and car registration etc. I go Monday and they do an Orientation and they pay for you to go back to school etc. Thats your local Career center. As far as building a church etc. I think you need to get grants fom a list of grants avalible for 501c people and they are out there. I dont know if you are inMaine but Stephen King does alot of 501c and he has been good to alot of people.Food pantry s etc. you cannot mix church with state, so your grants need to come from other sources from donations from people, There are some on line that you can apply for. and if you are a certain denomination you can get help from them to. If you realy want help to build a church go to facebook and set up a site there and ask a few Pastors who thy did it. You would be surprized how tey get their funds. God Bless Nancy
