Grants are the new 2021 BUZZ word for many small businesses and even individual assistance as well. In this segment you will get to know a bit more about what to do when applying for grants for individuals and businesses. Everyone seems to think getting a grant is as easy as snapping one's fingers and getting money direct deposited into their bank account. Well, the only way that can happen is with the stimulus checks being awarded. Even then some may not be as lucky as others when receiving them. Dorina Shine is a Business Developer that is Director of both non-profits and for-profits. She is an international developer that will show three areas of what happens through grant writing. According to Shine you must first have an open mind that this is something that you will be willing to devote your time a nd energy into. You must then know the terminology that is invested in writing the project you are interested in getting funds for granting. And then realizing the process, uniqueness and budget are the most realest forms of getting the grant at least reviewed. Shine also warns against sharing too much information about your business to those organizations and foundations. Researching the award base on the foundation and how much they genuinely give per year to those being grant awarded will save the time and energy and possibly a duplicate grant opportunity that has been exposed by YOU.. Shine admits having too much faith in every grant opportunity that was applied for since writing her first grant in 1996. She states that whether you are applying for a grant to enroll for a scholarship, create your startup entrepreneur program as a first time minority small business. Or, writing an idea that needs patented. There are so many processes that must be  considered. By working with a strong grant writer who understands deadlines, guidelines, pre-qualifications and the empowerment of luck. You have a great head start in promoting your idea to be considered for budget backing.
