Global Business Funding, Inc. out of Las Vegas, Nevada - what can anyone tell me about them?

Question

We are a non-profit seeking assistance with corporate and foundation grants. Have you used this organization (GBF) and can you recommend them?

Answer 1

I have not heard of that company.

If you are looking for corporate and foundation grants, the BEST resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.

If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.

CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO...

However, to be able to get grant awards, you need to be 501C(3) certified from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/...

Answer 2

Ask them to provide you with referrals of organizations they have successfully written grants for.

Then use the internet to find alternate phone numbers and call the referrals.

Grant writing seems to be an area rife with fraud and/or poor results.
