Also, there gov.grants that facilitate or help to have beds No lock boxes etc. to food aida Your best bet is to obtain private grants or grants from private foundations.
The best resource for this is the 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 case. However, it's a website subscription ($ 19.95 per month, I think the price is the cheapest subscription). But it is certainly worth the expense. 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 access the catalog of Federal Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to ensure 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 will find a list of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO ...
However, to be able to obtain the award of grants, you must be 501C (3) certified by the IRS http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/ ...
Unless you're runnimg an unintended benefit, forget it. If it is a nonprofit, go to http://npguides.org/ for instructions on how to write a grant proposal to the Foundation.
