Check out the community grants which are available from state and federal government sources

Check out the community grants which are available from state and federal government sources, not to mention the many different grants for churches and religious groups, all of which offer voluntary services to the local community. Helping stem the tide of drug and alcohol abuse and offering those vulnerable groups from all ethnic origins and community groups, federal government grants can fill the funding gap between private and philanthropic donations, gifts and bequests.
Organizations which are religious and/or church based or are an established community group usually have no issues in making successful grant applications, although it does help no end if one has a formalized plan of action about how the grant will be used and in what context it will be used to help local suffering and deprivation. The economy is the single biggest influence in the success or failure of a community and when an economy is in dire straits poverty is the single biggest influence in the rise of drug and alcohol abuse, which in turn leads to increased crime rates in local communities.
Preparing an application for grants for churches and community grants should be along the lines of applying for funding as if it was a business; the art is to show diversification in the way in which the funding will be spent and indeed offer likely projections (realistic) of how the money will be spent, what the overall approach to the community will be and how the money which will be released under the various grants for non profit organizations fund and how its projected use will impact the local community.
The economy is in dire straits at the moment and this is in line pretty much with the rest of the word; growth is almost nonexistent and there seems to be little stimulus in consumer confidence and consumer spending. Companies and firms are laying off in ever increasing numbers of employees and these numbers are filtering down to the underbelly of society which is becoming more diverse and yet paradoxically more mainstream. More people than ever before who were once considered to be comfortably well off or at least comfortable are now finding themselves in crisis and this is placing an ever burgeoning strain on the resources of church groups and community groups across the entire nation.
