I just wanted to wish you luck with getting your grant(s). I really hope you get them. I've gone through the process myself a couple of times, and understand whole-heartedly what a pain it can be.

Take your time ...we'll all still be here and I wish you luck on filling out your application and I hope you get the grant.

I wish you the best of luck with that, I know that it isn't easy. My son has tried applying for grants geared towards the music industry without much luck. So, I do know how challenging applying for these grants can be. He composes classical music and has had a lot of his work used in tv programs and commercials. I think it must be all in the wording..He was trying for a grant so that he could purchase more recording equipment. I think after a few years of trying that he finally gave up.

good luck and i wish you the best.hope everything goes your way.i know grants can be a real pain,i have been trying for a few months now and i am waiting on paperwork,to see what kind of grant i can get.i would love one for my other business or a house.they take awhile but i hope i hear something soon.i wish you so much happiness.take care.pattie

My son plays in 2 different little leagues in our town. I am the volunteer administrative assistant for one of these leagues and have been researching grants for the last 2 years. I was fortunate enough to not only raise $10,000 ($5,000 from the company I work for and $5,000 from the State) but also secured a grant for $4600 for a bleacher shade at our field. There is a major grant that is offered each year from Major League Baseball. Last year they gave the other league $50,000 to refurbish their field, and since we are trying to raise funds to install lights in our field I thought I would apply as well! Checked the website and OH NO! The deadline for submission was THE NEXT DAY! Now, for anyone who applies for grants, you KNOW what it entails! Hours and hours of gathering all the information you need in order to answer all the questions and to make your grant application as compelling as possible! I had most of the things I needed (like league Tax ID, taxes, etc. but there were still quite a few things I needed so I emailed the President and Vice President of the league and after they sent me the info I needed I was up until 4 a.m. putting it all together! The next morning at work I wrote a check for overnight delivery service, and called DHL for a pick up of my grant application. The main office is in New York (and I work in New Jersey) so I figured I had it made! The grant application would be ON THEIR DESK by 9 a.m. on the day of the deadline! Except it wasn't. For some reason DHL messed up my delivery and my package wound up on a truck in GEORGIA!!! To say that I was freaking out is an understatement. I called Major League Baseball and explained my situation, how I tried so hard to get the application in on time but that DHL lost it. They were very understanding, telling me that it would be alright if they received it a day or two later. I wish I could say this had a happy ending and that we received the grant! But we didn't. And I will never know if it's because the grant application didn't get to them on time or if they just found another baseball league that needed it more. Good luck with your grant applications! :)
