Dear Libby:<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\nWe need to install a screen, projector, microphones and support equipment in our church sanctuary. This will be used primarily by our youth and senior citizens programs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\n\nWhere may we get a grant of up to $15,000 for this media equipment?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\n\nBlessings,\n<\/strong><\/em>Christian Church, Wanamaker, IN\n<\/strong><\/em>Grantwatch.com Subscriber\n<\/strong><\/em>\n
\nDear Subscriber:<\/span><\/h6>\nThank you for contacting <\/span>GrantWatch.com<\/a> with your question.\u00a0 I am sure that there are many institutions with similar needs who will gain from the following information.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThough you require equipment for your Church, the focus for your grant search should not be for grants which specifically fund the installation of a screen, projector, microphones and support equipment. The best way for you to achieve your goal is to focus on grants that support the programs you wish to provide for, i.e. youth and\/or senior citizens.<\/span>\n\nIf your nonprofit status is under a religious institution, I recommend searching for grants given to faith based institutions<\/a>.\u00a0 This information will be included in the grant\u2019s eligibility requirements.\u00a0<\/span>\n
Additionally, searching for intergenerational programs might also be helpful.<\/span><\/h6>\nOnce you find the grants that might be appropriate for funding your equipment, you will need to create an attractive proposal which will help you secure the funding that you need.\u00a0 The focus of your proposal should be that in order to run your youth and senior citizen programs successfully, you require the acquisition of specific equipment such as a screen, projector, etc.\u00a0 Be sure to describe the equipment usage in your application objectives,\u00a0goals and activities and include equipment costs in your excel budget and budget narrative.<\/span>\n\nIf you do not have experience with writing a grant proposal, it might be worthwhile to retain the services of a professional to either assist with writing the entire proposal or review the proposal which has been created.\u00a0 Professional grant writers are experts in determining the best way to present information so the application is accepted and the grant is awarded. \u00a0<\/span>\n\nAnother possibility for you to receive the equipment you need is to ask the Executive Director of your organization for assistance.\u00a0 He\/she should network and set-up private meetings with the CEO\u2019s of your local stores or corporations.\u00a0 A request can be made for these companies to donate surplus or open box equipment. \u00a0They may even be able to get a tax deduction for their donation to your church.<\/span>\n\nI hope that this information will be helpful to you. We wish you much success in not only acquiring your needed equipment but also in implementing quality programs to benefit all the members of your church.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAll the best to you and yours,\u00a0<\/span>\n\nLibby Hikind\nCEO & Founder\nwww.GrantWatch.com<\/a>\n\n\n
