I’m on Social Security and Medicare. The thing that happens is yes we got a three point whatever percent increase last year but my Medicare part B payment also went up by $60 a month more than my cola so I actually took a $60 a month cut. I literally made best decisions when i started working with an advisor..
I hear you; it's tough when COLA increases barely keep up with rising costs, and with Medicare premiums possibly going up again, it could feel even tighter this year. Having an advisor on your side is a great call-they can help you navigate these changes and make the most of what you’re getting. Here’s hoping for some better adjustments soon!!
@grantchatter Hi Tiffany, I have a lot of questions, about our situation with being put on SSDI and having to medically retire after we found out my husband has stage 4 stomach cancer and now our income has been cut so drastically (around 100 grand a year!) and we need major home repairs on a home we weren't planning on keeping(before our lives had gotten turned upside down) is there help for us???😢thank you!!! is there an email address I can email you at?
I live in a 55 and older community that I write a community newsletter about services for our seniors. I love this information and will pass this along! I don’t feel that our seniors have the resources available to them and I love learning myself. My next newsletter is coming up and I’m looking forward to including your information. I just wish more senior citizens could understand that there is more help for them than they realize. I just am a small person who am trying to get the word out by starting in my community. Thank you for your valuable work!
For both instances (business or land), a grant is going to want to see how that activity will help build up a community. Say your business will help turn around a declining neighborhood. Or your land purchase and home construction will help employ or support people who are in need. Targeted goals like that. Lots of really good business advice from free mentors at SCORE (retired execs who volunteer to help others build a business), score.org.
@@RichardSaling There are federal and state programs. Even USDA loans paid back at 1 percent over 20 years. There's your local programs too. HUD... ect...
Try the findhelp.org website I mention in the video. It's free to use, and shows you what is available in your zip code. I also have an entire video on how to use that website, th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html

I have a 501c3 nonprofit horse rescue that I have been looking for help with. Especially with hurricane Helene we were without electric or water for 8 days. We lost some fencing. If I could get some fencing up I could take in some equine refugees but having trouble finding help. If you have any suggestions I am open
I think most immediately, your state would have relief programs set up. You could probably search online for “hurricane relief efforts near me”, and see what comes up. Also, the Red Cross and Samaritan’s Purse are well organized for relief efforts. Their websites might have ways to reach out. I hope you can get help soon!
I am new subscriber i just came across your videos, so much information. I just started looking into non profit and wanting to create my own and make that my job but dont have experience in non profits.

Thanks for subscribing! I focus on grants, and there is another channel that talks all about starting nonprofits. I’ve watched a few videos, and they look helpful. youtube.com/@ambermelaniesmith?si=zd3puILhZH8ye4j7
My pleasure! And absolutely private grants are worth the effort. I work with both on a daily basis. Government grants are tied to the goals of elected officials. Private grants are tied to the funders' personal goals to see something change in culture. I regularly write both a government grant and a private grant for the same program (they just have to pay for different parts of it).
Am a professional grant writer I have been able to successfully apply for people in the past and won, I can help you research for available ones if you want

I am looking for a way to start a non profit to help recovering addicts and the disabled find transportation to jobs, meetings, treatment, food banks, the store (for groceries, for example), and other places that they may otherwise be limited to regarding funds or resources. It is difficult to find that kind of help when you are making every effort to get on track in life. To have a job but rides fall through. The judge has ordered you to 2-3 meetings a week and the nearest meeting hall is in another town. The disabled person has medicare and transportation to have meds delivered but nothing to take them to get groceries or have them delivered, they're insurance or other resources are limited or don't accommodate them to be self sufficient in supporting themselves in these ways.

Thanks for the kind words about the video. Regardless of who you are, grant funders for small business want good business and marketing plans. And there are great, free mentors for anyone at score.org (not a promotion; I know people who consult through SCORE, and they're true professionals).
I wonder if any of the places you recommend is available for multilevel marketing like Amway or Mary Kay. Many of them struggle starting off, so a grant to help pay some of these schemes' peripheral sites*, or fees, or "starter kits" will do wonders, even if just the 1st 6 months. *= few know that Amway has started their own internal social media app that cost over 100/month.
I don't think so. Most small business grants require participation in their own coaching programs for a period of time before grant dollars are made available. That doesn't seem to match with the timing for someone getting started in mlm.
I did a little checking, and see that sometimes the parent company offers financing, and there are loans available. Grants can come into play if you are bringing a business to a disadvantaged community, or some other kind of extra community benefit.
Glad you're here! I mentioned the findhelp.org website in this video, and here's a complete walkthrough of how to use it. Free to search, based on your zip code, th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html

It's a bit technical, but the federal government doesn't give grants to individuals to buy a home. There are local agencies that can connect you to resources to help you finance a home, and you can use findhelp.org to find them. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Like I noted in the video, meet with a rep from your nearest community foundation (locator linked in the description). Their staff have lots of helpful information. I also did a quick google search for "florida grants for fish and wildlife"; the top 3 results were fishfloridatag.org/grant-program/; myfwc.com (type "grants" in the search box); and wildlifeflorida.org/conservation-grants/.
I am on SSI and can't work as I am taking care of my disabled brother. My food stamps went up by $3 lol. I want to start a home biz and send my dog for service training but I don't know what to do or how to apply for grants?
I have a couple of websites that I hope can give some direction. For your dog's service training, I'm familiar with an organization called Medical Mutts (not a promotion; I'm vaguely familiar with it). For your small business, I would recommend a deep read through of this website, then connect to get a free mentor, score.org.
Try the findhelp.org website that I mention in this video. It's free to use, and and finds a lot of resources near you, based on your zip code, including funding for education. I do a complete walkthrough of how to use it in this one: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html You could also see what kind of scholarships are offered by the school offering the degree.
I appreciate the specifics! I would say get to know the people in your field, other people working in greenhouses and fisheries to learn more about resources closest to you. I also found two links that might have helpful resources: (1) There is a Veterans Business Program at www.nysbdc.org/veterans.aspx; and (2) NY State prioritizes veteran-owned businesses for contracts.

I have a question I'm on government assistance and work part-time I'm also applying to go to college but I need work on my car is there anything that will help you with car repairs???
Thank you for this information. Would like to find a source for a very deserving family member on disability, has tried local agencies, needs a full mouth of dental work. Local agencies only do a tooth at a time & this person needs major help. Person is disabled and can't do a regular job but volunteers expertise and experience for community whenever possible.
My prior video was a walkthrough of a new website that can connect this family member to multiple care agencies, based on zip code. Maybe there is another agency that can help? The BEST Way to Get Local Support When You’re in Need th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
I always advise starting as close to your service territory as possible. I've used these three links in videos (and your comment has given me an idea for another one!): (1) your nearest econ dev't agency might have grant dollars, find them at www.eda.gov/economic-development-directory; (2) your nearest small biz devt ctr will have biz growth training and maybe some grants, find yours at americassbdc.org/; (3) free biz mentoring from retired execs, www.score.org/

My brother owns a small furniture refinishing business. Due to the economy, he is struggling, any advice, assistance or free grants would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Maybe some assistance for personal needs would help, to reduce the cost of living? Try the findhelp.org website mentioned in the video. Grants for small business would take a long time, so I don't know if they would be a match, if I'm reading your question correctly.
I am a single woman living in Los Angeles, California my General Relief has been canceled and I can reapply again until December 15, 2024. I need help with paying my car repair, insurance, registration, water and power bill. What grants must I apply?
You can skip grants and seek free services instead. Utilities have ways to reduce bills, if you meet their requirements. You can call 211 to be connected to services, or you can search findhelp.org. I did a complete walkthrough on how to use that website in this video: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
The median income is hard to find in your area let alone 80 percent or 200 percent of median income. Then one doesn't know if gross income, net income, or household income. Most seniors are not internet savey to apply. Some fall outside the eligible income. Others are in tough financial situations with medical bills, dental bills, being behind on other bills even though they have a few dollars home repairs are not in their reach. Repair people charge the I don't want to do it price. Often they are expensive. Or worse you pay someone and you still have a problem. And homes are unsafe, then unlivable. Electrical safety issues, new rooves, needing heat, electric, gas, car repairs and expensive hearing aides, cataract surgery or expensive hearing aides. It's difficult these days. My heart breaks for all the people I know in dire need that cannot get any help. That really needs help. Some just need affordable help.-Johns wife
@grantchatter I have been searching for help for my neighbors for years. Your videos are very helpful. Unfortunately after the Cola increase alot of them are just outside the income for help. And some are not 65 yet. Although some programs are 60 or 62... my one neighbor is in her 90's. Her husband served in the war. Her house burned down and not enough insurance to rebuild in todays prices to replace. Red cross helped her get a hotel room. Unfortunately she had no help so she's forced to live in a nursing home. Heartbreaking for her and her family. She still made 7 pies every year for the holidays. I could tell you story after story. Its difficult these days for some in a tough spot to survive. Another lady lost her husband, her roof leaked, she didn't have the money to fix it. It collapsed and she now stays with any family that will have her staying with one here, another on there. on n on.-John's wife
The very people that have been financially responsible all their lives and have paid taxes, property taxes, school taxes, when they need help, there is no help. It's a shame. Those that can work, those that can't fall on very hard times. They deserve better. Good there is help for people, but those that fall even $1 out of the eligibility are asked to go back to work after retired, get a second or third job. Buy inexpensive food, skip meals, utilities, live in the dark, turn down the heat, ration their medicines, live with leaks, mold, flickering lights, broken windows, plumbing that doesn't work, they can't afford to fix their cars, get new tires, brakes, ect.-John's wife
There ought to be a page of eligibility on the first page of the programs. With a link to income exceptions. A sheet to say the process and telephone number to get help filling application out. Or an address to set up an appointment with a list of what to bring to get help filling them out. Posted at churches and senior centers ect.-John's wife
I referred briefly in this video to findhelp.org, which lists all the local help available in your area (free to use). Home repair is included. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
Check with your state or local economic development agency (a government office). Each state has its own goals to see businesses grow, and of course healthcare is important everywhere! They might have grants available, especially for businesses owned by women, minority business owners, and veterans.
To speak to someone about your options right away, you can call 211, and someone there will connect you to local help. If you want to search online instead, you can use findhelp.org. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html

I think these two websites might have information for you, and I think most (all?) of it is free: Small Biz Devt Ctr in East Colorado, eastcoloradosbdc.com/ and also free mentoring from score.org.
You would probably need a local service instead of a grant, and you would have to meet income or other requirements. Try the website I mentioned in the video, findhelp.org. I did a complete walkthrough on how to use that website in this video: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html

That's so nice! I haven't decided to share my location on Grant Chatter at this time, so I would say that if you have a particular passion for something in your community, reach out to a local nonprofit. If you want, I can post links to directories to help find one.

So feeling blessed and encouraged because the little town I live could teally use an economic boost!
What about a grant to start a real estate investing business? or a grant to buy land to have a home built on it on the outskirts of a city.
For both instances (business or land), a grant is going to want to see how that activity will help build up a community. Say your business will help turn around a declining neighborhood. Or your land purchase and home construction will help employ or support people who are in need. Targeted goals like that. Lots of really good business advice from free mentors at SCORE (retired execs who volunteer to help others build a business), score.org.

It's a bit technical, but the federal government doesn't give grants to individuals to buy a home. There are local agencies that can connect you to resources to help you finance a home, and you can use findhelp.org to find them. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
Are there grants for repairs in an apartment? If so what the limits.?😊
Ooh, that could be tough, assuming the apartment complex owns the space. I’m not sure I have a ready answer for that. Sorry about that.
WOW, GREAT INTEL!!! Thank you . I have a Preservation conservation nonprofit called "How We FIsh Florida" Im looking for grants in Florida.
Thank you! Like I noted in the video, meet with a rep from your nearest community foundation (locator linked in the description). Their staff have lots of helpful information. I also did a quick google search for "florida grants for fish and wildlife"; the top 3 results were fishfloridatag.org/grant-program/; myfwc.com (type "grants" in the search box); and wildlifeflorida.org/conservation-grants/.
Am a professional grant writer I can help you research for available grant opportunities and help you apply for them if you want
Do you help people living outside of the US?
I don’t have a consulting service, but I am working on videos for grant opportunities outside the US. Thanks for watching!
I am on SSI and can't work as I am taking care of my disabled brother. My food stamps went up by $3 lol. I want to start a home biz and send my dog for service training but I don't know what to do or how to apply for grants?
I have a couple of websites that I hope can give some direction. For your dog's service training, I'm familiar with an organization called Medical Mutts (not a promotion; I'm vaguely familiar with it). For your small business, I would recommend a deep read through of this website, then connect to get a free mentor, score.org.
Which of these grants, etc. will be available still in January, 2025 and on.
What about grants for school like a professional career.
Try the findhelp.org website that I mention in this video. It's free to use, and and finds a lot of resources near you, based on your zip code, including funding for education. I do a complete walkthrough of how to use it in this one: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html You could also see what kind of scholarships are offered by the school offering the degree.
thank you.
You're welcome!
Were do I look for a grant for a startup small bussines green house and live stock fishery in updtate new york as a senior citizen veteran?
I appreciate the specifics! I would say get to know the people in your field, other people working in greenhouses and fisheries to learn more about resources closest to you. I also found two links that might have helpful resources: (1) There is a Veterans Business Program at www.nysbdc.org/veterans.aspx; and (2) NY State prioritizes veteran-owned businesses for contracts. Info at tinyurl.com/ynuhj75v
I have a question I'm on government assistance and work part-time I'm also applying to go to college but I need work on my car is there anything that will help you with car repairs???
Try the findhelp.org website I mention in the video. There might be something there. Not sure, but it's free to search.
What about a small limbloss meeting/ class, information once a week to help the disabled is this considered a small business or non profit?
Please see my reply to your other comment. I think the same resource answers this question?
Thank you for this information. Would like to find a source for a very deserving family member on disability, has tried local agencies, needs a full mouth of dental work. Local agencies only do a tooth at a time & this person needs major help. Person is disabled and can't do a regular job but volunteers expertise and experience for community whenever possible.
My prior video was a walkthrough of a new website that can connect this family member to multiple care agencies, based on zip code. Maybe there is another agency that can help? The BEST Way to Get Local Support When You’re in Need

@@grantchatter Thank you!
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT TRY ALL THESE GRANT'S,BUT WHEN THEY GET TO YOU THERE'S NO MORE FUNDS
That does happen. Many more requests come in than they have money to give.
How can I get a grant for a small business for transportation for senior citizens?
It’s very easy to get if only you can consult the rightful agent ❤
I always advise starting as close to your service territory as possible. I've used these three links in videos (and your comment has given me an idea for another one!): (1) your nearest econ dev't agency might have grant dollars, find them at www.eda.gov/economic-development-directory; (2) your nearest small biz devt ctr will have biz growth training and maybe some grants, find yours at americassbdc.org/; (3) free biz mentoring from retired execs, www.score.org/
No
Awww. 🙁
I would have to go on a web site. I don't know what it is and have no username and password that I know of.
Which website were you thinking of? Findhelp.org doesn't require an account or password.
Is this grant also available for Nigeria.
In this video, no. I'm working on a video that might help you to find grants in Nigeria.
@@grantchatter Thank you I would be interested in this. I might be moving to Nigeria soon.
I am looking for grants to help with purchase of farm land and start a business selling value added agricultural product in Pennsylvania. Can you send me some links where I should start looking?
I have an older video on grants for farmers. I’m updating those, to make sure the grants are still active.
Where do I get the application for the grant
Please check my reply to your other comment. I hope you can find the help you need. And thank you for watching!
My brother owns a small furniture refinishing business. Due to the economy, he is struggling, any advice, assistance or free grants would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Maybe some assistance for personal needs would help, to reduce the cost of living? Try the findhelp.org website mentioned in the video. Grants for small business would take a long time, so I don't know if they would be a match, if I'm reading your question correctly.
I am a single woman living in Los Angeles, California my General Relief has been canceled and I can reapply again until December 15, 2024. I need help with paying my car repair, insurance, registration, water and power bill. What grants must I apply?
You can skip grants and seek free services instead. Utilities have ways to reduce bills, if you meet their requirements. You can call 211 to be connected to services, or you can search findhelp.org. I did a complete walkthrough on how to use that website in this video: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
The median income is hard to find in your area let alone 80 percent or 200 percent of median income.
Then one doesn't know if gross income, net income, or household income.
Most seniors are not internet savey to apply. Some fall outside the eligible income. Others are in tough financial situations with medical bills, dental bills, being behind on other bills even though they have a few dollars home repairs are not in their reach. Repair people charge the I don't want to do it price. Often they are expensive. Or worse you pay someone and you still have a problem. And homes are unsafe, then unlivable.
Electrical safety issues, new rooves, needing heat, electric, gas, car repairs and expensive hearing aides, cataract surgery or expensive hearing aides. It's difficult these days.
My heart breaks for all the people I know in dire need that cannot get any help. That really needs help. Some just need affordable help.-Johns wife
Our culture does like the immediate answers that online services provide. You’re right; that leaves a lot of people disconnected, sadly.
@grantchatter I have been searching for help for my neighbors for years. Your videos are very helpful. Unfortunately after the Cola increase alot of them are just outside the income for help. And some are not 65 yet. Although some programs are 60 or 62... my one neighbor is in her 90's. Her husband served in the war. Her house burned down and not enough insurance to rebuild in todays prices to replace. Red cross helped her get a hotel room. Unfortunately she had no help so she's forced to live in a nursing home. Heartbreaking for her and her family. She still made 7 pies every year for the holidays. I could tell you story after story. Its difficult these days for some in a tough spot to survive. Another lady lost her husband, her roof leaked, she didn't have the money to fix it. It collapsed and she now stays with any family that will have her staying with one here, another on there. on n on.-John's wife
The very people that have been financially responsible all their lives and have paid taxes, property taxes, school taxes, when they need help, there is no help. It's a shame. Those that can work, those that can't fall on very hard times. They deserve better. Good there is help for people, but those that fall even $1 out of the eligibility are asked to go back to work after retired, get a second or third job. Buy inexpensive food, skip meals, utilities, live in the dark, turn down the heat, ration their medicines, live with leaks, mold, flickering lights, broken windows, plumbing that doesn't work, they can't afford to fix their cars, get new tires, brakes, ect.-John's wife
There ought to be a page of eligibility on the first page of the programs. With a link to income exceptions. A sheet to say the process and telephone number to get help filling application out. Or an address to set up an appointment with a list of what to bring to get help filling them out. Posted at churches and senior centers ect.-John's wife
Do you have information on the opportunity in Indiana
Any particular opportunity you're looking for?
@@grantchatter home repair
I referred briefly in this video to findhelp.org, which lists all the local help available in your area (free to use). Home repair is included. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
Are there grants for profit, home Healthcare Agency startup
Check with your state or local economic development agency (a government office). Each state has its own goals to see businesses grow, and of course healthcare is important everywhere! They might have grants available, especially for businesses owned by women, minority business owners, and veterans.
Sure they are I can help you research for available ones if you want
And this is why are taxes are so high.
😕
What about rent assistance.
Please see my reply to your other comment. I hope that can get you the help you need.
Any grants for homeless elder disabled with cancer I need help
To speak to someone about your options right away, you can call 211, and someone there will connect you to local help. If you want to search online instead, you can use findhelp.org. I did a complete walkthrough of how to use that website at th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html
After being financially hit with a blow by an ex husband, I had no choice but to survive and thrive

Which regions are eligible to apply
The description below the video has a list, under "Other Links" to connect you to sources near you.
SO MY RENT IS 920., AND MY UTILITIES ARE INCLUDED WITH THAT SO I CAN'T GET LOT'S OF GRANT'S 😢
Try the website I mentioned in the video, findhelp.org. I'm impressed with the list of services you can find for free. I did a complete walkthrough on how to use that website in this video: th-cam.com/video/Vf8NDBQRKwE/w-d-xo.html No grants needed.
Remember, just because you qualify, doesn’t mean you will get it.
True! Grant funders receive far more proposals than they can fund.
HOPEFULLY THIS CLARIFIES & BLESSING HELPS ON GRANTS = WITHOUT PAYING BACK
I hope so, too!

Employer will fire you fast for asking for help
I hope not!
@@grantchatterI agree with you on that!
Well that employer needs to mind their business and or that's wasn't a good fit anyway. People have to do what is right for them. Full stop.
That’s not true it depends on your boss.
What reason would they have to terminate employment?
Can I get help to buy a home? I an on ssa and poverty level?

Im 54 Female in weld county colorado. Can i get a grant to start a business? I am diabled and dont want to live on disability. Thank you!

How can I get a grant to fix my bathrooms?

I used a website that I mention in this video, called findhelp.org. I found an organization that might have resources, www.peerwa.org/services. But if you use findhelp.org (it's free), you enter your zip code and see what kinds of resources are available near you.

Will grants become something TRUMP

I don’t think so. There are many grants not funded by the government. I have my ideas about the ways that government grants will change. Future videos on the topic for sure!

IF I WANT TO VOLUNTEER WITH YOU,WHAT CAN I DO OR HOW CAN I GET YOUR BRANCH OFFICE?
That's so nice! I haven't decided to share my location on Grant Chatter at this time, so I would say that if you have a particular passion for something in your community, reach out to a local nonprofit. If you want, I can post links to directories to help find one.
Very informative; thank you much.
