Grant Seminars: The Hottest New Niche

          Since Hurricane Katrina, non-profit fever has gripped the United States. In Michigan alone more than 1,500 charities have started since the hurricane and most states have seen similar proliferations. Why? Everyone has heard that you can get millions from the government if you have a dedicated 501 organization that gets funded. So what does this mean to you? Simple, there are literally thousands of organizations that need information on grants and grant funding.

          How do most organizations take advantage? They provide services to these companies. All of them require:

·       Education

·       Training

·       Business Resources

Seminars provide these businesses with the ability to make tens of thousands of dollars in only a few hours. The state of Michigan has seen an explosion in these types of service businesses.  Michigan has issued more licenses for this type of service in the past two years than it did previously in that past 20 years.

          The city of Detroit has seen a proliferation of businesses in general. In the last 3 years there has been a 400% increase in the number of businesses started by minorities. Each of these businesses is looking for funds, and grants represent a powerful tool for business. Grant-writing is a lesser known and extremely profitable niche that requires some level of business expertise. A quick poll of 10 Detroit grant-writers reports an average income of $8000-$12,000 per month.
