Proposal and Grant Writing - Another Helpful Tool for Non-Profits

The quest for funding seems never ending sometimes for many non-profit organizations and it can be a daunting task.

To continue providing support for many worthwhile social causes, many non-profit groups must continually be searching for new opportunities for funding and writing one proposal after another.

If you have little experience in grant and proposal writing, the chances of being awarded funding based on your request is slim. Here is a page that provide some sample proposals which may help you write a successful funding request: http://www.npguides.org/guide/budget.htm.

I certainly hope that more social programs and improvements to our current ones are top priority for whoever wins the election on Oct 14. Based on what I have heard so far, I'm still undecided.

Good luck in your endeavors to improve our "social economy"!

FAQ's by the "Social Entrepreneur"

For anyone starting a non-profit group, I'm sure you have many questions. The rewards of being a "social entrepreneur" are so fulfilling but it is important to be aware of the liabilities that are specific to the non-profit sector. This site http://www.law-nonprofit.org/faq.htm may help answer some of your questions.

Help for the Non-Profit Sector- Week 1

There is nothing more rewarding than assisting an organization in their social goals. I've worked in the non-profit sector and I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding points of my life (aside from when my son was born). It is also one of the reasons I was so inspired to create this office services business.

I'm recalling a site http://www.envision.ca/ which I used quite a bit to keep me up to date with the local non-profit sector and I just wanted to share it with you as it may also be valuable to your organization.

Over the next several weeks, I will be posting tools here on a weekly basis if I think they may be of benefit to non-profit or community groups. I hope they help in some small way.
