Monday's Grants
As we all know, women play so many roles, we're mothers, we're daughters, we're friends, we're wives, we're amazing! One of my roles is that of a social worker. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 5 years and I have loved it! But during that time, I also continued my education and received my Master's in Social Work. I really believe that I was put on this earth to make a difference in people's lives and be a change agent. In order to provide change as a social worker, you often need funding! I keep updated on grants and funding that is available and I thought since I'm doing the research anyway, I might as well share my found information with individuals or groups who could also use it. So I've decided to start Monday's Grants. I will post grants weekly that may be useful to nonprofits, groups, teachers, individuals and more. Many grants will be RFP's (Request for Proposals), but I will try to include a selection of different grants. Enjoy!
