happy birthday, gorgeous!! hug

it's a new facility that will house up to 18 women and children who would otherwise face homelessness. they will receive training, counseling, etc. for up to 6 months, at which point the goal is for them to be self-sufficient. it's a great program, and i'm excited to be a part of it.

Do you get a percentage or do you just charge a fixed fee?
Do you only take on noble causes like this one, or could it be about anything?

Either way, congrats! smile

touched thanks everybody!

to answer some of your questions:

the money goes toward a total annual budget of just over $300,000, so there's still a lot to do.

in terms of my fees - i have a flat fee and a base + contingency option. but the money can't come from the grant itself, it has to come from unrestricted funds.

i work strictly for nonprofits (some nobler than others lol ) - if anybody tells you about government grants to start your own business or to renovate your house - it's BS. individuals do not qualify for grants, with some exceptions for high-end scientists, etc.

the house will be fab - maybe not abfab, but fab! thumbs up! (in other words, no Bolli fridge!)

Minnie - i'd usually bitchfight you over the martini , but i feel generous today! biggrin

thanks again - i was just so excited, i HAD to share. redface
