Looking for grants or funding sources without upfront costs

I am a 35 year old, single female who is partnering with several women like myself to establish a business which will help young people in general who have a pre-existing criminal record.  We are passionate about the fact that these individuals are most in need of our immediate services.  We understand that without it they eventually become our greatest victimizers, often having to resort to a life of crime because it is what seems most attainable and attractive to them. I read Nathan McCall's autobiography, Makes Me Wanna Holler, and was truly inspired to act, to do whatever I can to help, but I need finances to make this a reality.

I am also in the process of purchasing my first home but am interested in finding down payment assistance, etc. to make this a reality.

If you have any information on how I might accomplish either or both of these dreams, please contact me at prknshp@yahoo.com.

 

Thanks in advance.

Andrea

Grants for small business.

I am wondering if there are any grants available for someone looking to start a small business.  I would like to start a bus tour company.  I don't want to own buses--they would be chartered.   I just want to be able to take people on one day tours of our region and maybe some extended stay vacations.   I will need funding for insurance, bonding, licenses, and any other fees that are necessary.  If there is any information for this I would be grateful.
