minority business grant?

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

How do I get a minority business grant. Seeking help from someone who has obtained one. I’ve been to many websites, and everyone wants money up front just to see if I qualify or buy their program. Need help quickly.

There aren’t any commercial grants. Your tax money is not being spent like that.

You can apply for a small business loan from the government though.

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Open Government TV will develop its television programming within a framework guided by the Administrations of-declared principles of collaboration, transparency, and participation. In other words, while some ideas will be better than others, every voice must be heard, every opinion counts, and collaboration between the public and private sectors will be more able to identify wasteful spending, increase efficiencies, and to create opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses to succeed in their missions. In this way, we believe that the demographics that are the most challenged, and traditionally the most expensive to our nations economy, can become tremendously productive if successfully engaged.
