Since I do a lot of grant research I can tell you that there are more grant programs for start-ups as opposed to already established businesses. However there are exceptions to the rule. Here is a link to my daycare page: http://members.aol.com/Roseb441702/daycare.htm As you will see on the page there have been lots of funding programs for daycare. What concerns me though is that you must have some sort of idea of the costs that will be involved in starting a new (and separate) facility. A lot of the start-up grants that I have dealt with are in the $20,000 to $50,000 range (again there are exceptions) One of the things that you should do is check your state's website and see what available funding programs they have open. I say this because I just posted on my grants blog about a new grant program that was started in one state to "help people achieve the american dream" - which were the words of the sponsors of this grant program. It just goes to show you that there are new grant programs popping up all the time! Rose Grant Basics 101 Blog http://grantbasics101.blogspot.com Name: Email: Subject
