What grants are available? 10 points for a grant?

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/…

Pell Grants for Elementary, Middle and High School students?

We Answered:

This is ridiculous. You don't pay kids to go to school and we should not help out with tuition. If a child is not learning, let his parents teach him at home in conjuction with what the school is doing. Let the parents make sacrifices to send the child to private school but no way the govt should pay!! How entitled can one nation become?

Troy Said:

What grants are available to cover costs of private school tuition for elementary and middle school students?

We Answered:

There are none. The closest equivalent would be if there are charter schools in your area. Otherwise, you'll have to inquire at each private school individually. You also may be able to work out a payment plan or work for the school in exchange for a tuition discount.
_______________
an exception is if your child is special ed and the public system has no equivalent program, your township may pay the tuition.
