Dear Jim,

I am a grant writer and have written grantsfor the NFB , myself and other 
individuals.
If you want to write grants, educate yourself.
Go to the Foundations Center web site, www.foundationscenter.org and you can

see some of the information that is put out by grant making foundations.
There are many grant instruction web sites and you can even go to your local

library or Community Foundation HQ and get instructions on how to write 
them.
For individuals it is harder as most grants are for agencies, organizations 
and government agencies.
Individuals can apply for some grants, but it is limited.  It comes down to 
what it is you are looking for.

Normally you will want to start with a foundation directory that list the 
names, locations and contact info for the foundations and also gives you 
information such as what areas of Interest they give grants in, What their 
"Mean" grant is, they IRS 990 forms, Who they gave grants to last year, What

geographical area they serve, How to contact them and what dates begin and 
end their grant cycles.

If you have questions, I will try to answer as time permits me.
By the way, you can go to your local library or Community Foundation and 
look at many foundation directories and instructions on how to write grants 
right there.
Let me know what you have in mind and I can advise you.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
