I’m looking for someone who might be able to help me with some grantwriting. Well, even more specifically, someone who can help me find some good grants to apply to! (And believe me, I would just Google it, but unfortunately this is an area where it’s extremely hard to search & get quality results.)

I have been looking into applying for a microloan, but feel that between being a woman-owned small business & the income range I’m in (aka not very much :) I am ripe for a grant right now. I’ve been in business around 2 years now, but have been bootstrapping it the entire time, and need capital to take my business to the next level.

In addition to having hard data on my product sales/success thus far, I feel there’s also many ways I’ve contributed to the small business community – both for crafters/designers and small business owners of any kind. I’ve not only been able to employ others with my business, but I’ve been able to bring on interns who have had the opportunity to learn what it takes to run a small business like this – all of which are great for the economy. Plus, I have a whole new organic line of baby gift sets launching in the shop soon, too, so there’s the green/eco-conscious angle as well!

Let me know if any of you know where I should start and/or who I could talk to for some guidance.

Thanks pals!
