Don't work alone, my friend.

The SBA programs are a free service. 
They can guide you in the right direction, that is if you are not already using them.

May G-d bless you,

Rev. Lewis,

How beautiful is your heart.  That is a wonderful idea. 

Have you thought about taking grant writing classes through your local chamber of commerce or local community college?  That way you can write & get a grant for the programs that you seek.

Also, contact your local SBA (small business administration), they often have one available at the local community college as well.  They have people that will help you to write a 'business plan' & can point you in the direction with the paperwork to set up a 501 (c)-nonprofit.  This service is free of charge.

I wish you the best.

G-d bless you,

ekikaseven
