I am halfway through my grant writing certificate and I have a bachelors in urban studies. Within the next three weeks I will be a certified grant writer and I would like to pursue a career in either grant writing, nonprofits or both. A friend of mine came to me and asked if I wanted to start a business under a network of local businesses and we discussed potential plans of turning the network into an out reach program and nonprofit. The network of businesses is basically an art collective which collaborates professional artists, therapists musicians and people of the like together in order to provide lessons in art and music in therapy to the public. By turning this network into a nonprofit we would also align our mission statement towards giving back to the community. I wanted to potentially start the legwork to turn this business into a nonprofit while I finished up my grant writing certificate so that by next month I'll have a few of my ducks in row. I also am considering starting a nonprofit on my own designed to reallocate money towards local initiatives such as this as well as bigger more brought the global initiative's in the environmental economics and natural disaster relief sectors. In doing so I would like to create a mission statement about reaching out both locally and globally. I figured that by starting a nonprofit of my own I would be getting my feet wet with the industry and then I would be able to transfer my knowledge to the nonprofit that I am starting with this network of artists. Another friend of mine who is in the Peace Corps in the Philippines in Gambia also recently reached out to me saying that they both need grants. This has nothing to do with the other two operations I'm just bringing it up as potential business plans and prospective future goals. I'm not quite sure how much of this is plausible but I would like to have something off the ground within the next couple months. I hope this is enough information to receive some insight whether it's good or bad anything is useful. I'm willing to answer any questions and give as many details as anyone needs to receive as much input as possible thank you for your time I look forward to hearing from you all. via /r/business http://ift.tt/2hHq7OE
