Also check with your local funding group - ie United Way, etc. - Some of these groups have ways to help you and some have rules to follow about a non-profit member wishing to search for indep. funding. Some rules help schedule such fund raising to avoid too many such efforts all at one time.

This is not strictly a museum question, but I am hoping that someone will have some insight. I have been asked to find and write a large grant for our local YMCA (which I have been involved in as a volunteer for a long time). Although I have written a number of large grants, they have all been through either NEH, IMLS, HPI or NPS. Where (aside from grants.gov) would one even start to look for a grant to expand a YMCA facility? Any ideas? -Casandra To unsubscribe from the MUSEUM-L list, click the following link: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-HOME.exe?SUBED1=MUSEUM-L&A=1 ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
