Question: I am in the process of starting a community based non-profit counseling center. I want to know about grants to assist me to complete my doctoral degree in counseling. I also am intersted in funding opportunities for capacity building the center which will be located in a very rural community
Answer: For funding your graduate degree, you might want to look to a local college financial aid office. Depending on where you are located, there might be a community foundation, or a local conversion foundation (created from the sale of a hospital). You might also want to try the state or local Chamber of Commerce for some assistance. They often help these kind of business start-ups.
