This program will talk about the types of organizations that can receive grant funding and how to find and secure funding to grow your bottom line. In addition, a case study of organizations that have used grants to help grow their business will be presented.

If you manufacture for or sell to a nonprofit or government organization – which includes health care organizations, schools, municipalities, parks – or have an innovative product you want to bring to market, you may benefit from grant funding. And if you are one of these organizations, grants can help you find the money to pay for your needed goods and services.

The federal government invests more than $500 billion annually of your tax dollars into projects that meet its objectives. Private funders invest another $97 billion annually into the economy.

While most people think of nonprofit organizations when they think of grant recipients, government entities and for-profit businesses – especially in manufacturing, construction, technology, and telecommunications – can also reap the benefits of these billions of dollars. These dollars are going to someone; why not you?
