Grant writing

[Kalalau]

Just wondering if anyone else out there has done any grant writing... I'm trying to write some grants and looking to network. I know you can get up to 500K for a standard nonprofit. and it seems pretty easy to set up a nonprofit. I know of some guys doing the same thing that I do back on Kauai that got 800K for what I do better and I do for free. I'll try to write a guide once I'm a little more on the roll. But I know this'd be easy money for some of the more enterprising STPers

tell me more, who do i write them to? how do i set up the non-profit?

i've definitely been curious about this--basically what it is. what do you do? do you need special education/training/licensing? i know a good friend who has a sweet job mostly because he does the grant writing for a locally pre-eminent non-profit.

I don't want to oversimplify the process, but here's a link I just googled.

I know a doctor who says you have to be a doctor, but I think she's confused a little. Go write a grant for an StP mental health/drug rehab treatment center/retreat and give the staff huge ass salaries while you're at it.
