Have you spoken with federal and state organizations about your proposed project and asked if they are aware of funding that would be specific to your type of project? Also speaking with other organizations that have successfully implemented something similar, find out what worked for them, what didn’t and where they got funding, ask who they recommend you talk to. Below is a list of starter contacts, fleshing out information along the way, getting information for more contacts and keeping track of who you are talking to and who they are referring is important. Hope this helps a bit…
