Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Thanks, Patricia, That is a start. Your comments remind me of an image that always helps me....the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. Thanks again. Celeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 First you need to set up a business. Go online and find you state's pages. Many have forms and info you can download. Get instructions on starting a nonprofit. File with the state. Once approved you apply for a tax number - can opening a checking account and then file form 1023 which is your app for 501c3 approvel. This is a long process. Once you get that then you can start applying for grants. Look to this link http://nonprofit.miningco.com/careers/nonprofit/library/weekly/aa062399.htm It looks immense but everything breaks down to small steps. I was getting overwhelmed until I realized that. I flow charted things out and openly ask for help from not only the universe but from everying I come in contact with. I feel that if you come from your heart and spirit and believe in your dreams then people and situations will appear at the right time. Look to other things you have done in the past that seemed BIG and hard - for me it was getting through additional training while working 3 jobs and caring for a family. That seemed hard at the time but now .... Alll things are possible - follow your dreams. Patricia Gilmore, C.M.Ht.
