Heaven's Door Foundation

So how do I make these bad "lemons into lemonade?

I have decided to take my bad experience and turn it around for good.

I will never guarantee that a client will receive the funding. With this economy, money is tight and foundations are very particular. So for a donation, I have decided to do to help others to:

1) Incorporate in the state located (going through Hubco, Inc.)

2) Apply for Employee Identification Number online.

3) Apply for 501 C3 Status including narratives

4) Create a business plan and budget.

5) Explore non-government corporate and private grant foundations.

6) Create Letters of Intent to foundations offering funding assistance to nonprofits

7) Assist with organizing and providing additional information needed as requested by foundation before deadline.

The moral of this story is:

There are no free lunches in this procedure. Be wary of companies who say they have certified grant writers and a large database of foundations and government agencies. These foundations can be found anywhere on the internet! There is a lot of hard work and I will need any potentional nonprofit owner to work with me in making this successful. But it can be successful. I do want to help others avoid some of the pitfalls of what I and many others I know have dealt with in working with these fraudulent companies and losing so much money.
