Another option is to become involved with an organization that actually
specializes in Grants.

Here is the setup:

We create shows.

We have a client that is a non-profit organization - ie.... NO money.

However, through a 3rd party who has a grant program we are able to create a
show that will answer the needs of the client and all they have to do is
give us their blessing to proceed with the grant process the show is funded
by an outside source.

Any of you with COX Communications as their cable provider should look into
their public relations department for a program such as this.
