Renee Said:

Any unrestricted grants out there? I want to have funding to support a resource fair for health and emploment

We Answered:

Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.

The best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.

If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.

CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO…

However, to be able to get grant awards, you need to be 501C(3) certified from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/…

Why do Republicans want to deny health care to sick children?

We Answered:

If we keep adding entitlements we will be broke, and Children already get health care if their parents take them for it.

Christina Said:

what do you think we might do to improve the social health of the united state? why?

We Answered:

Well, Sunshine, I disagree with your bald assertion that liberals and conservatives agree on the "deluge of facts." Most people I know, (Liberal and Conservative) still have the highest possible regard for money. You must have led an easy life to reach so vapid a conclusion as the one you reach.

Bernice Said:

I'm looking for operating grants for our nonprofit Human Resources Center?

We Answered:

Operating grants are hard to get. Foundations like to give directly to programs, not to fund overhead and operations. Try state, federal, and county sources of funding. Try also local and state councils of churches.

Go to The Foundation Center for more help.

Rhonda Said:

I want to know the proper age to start talking to your child about intercourse?

We Answered:

I am 16 now. My parents and I have always had an open relationship so I knew the general meaning of intercourse for quite some time. But the details I learned from my friends in middle school. So depending on how in depth you plan on talking to her , depends. Because by the beginnning of high school I won't doubt she will know everything. I wish my parents would have told me instead of learning from friends because with friends they tend to make it sound fun and entertaining while parents tell you the cons and the truth about things. Granted you are not going to want to get into every single little detail but the less she learns from her friends may just be better. Hope I helped from a teenagers point-of-view.
