My wife has been working on trying to get a bike path in our neighborhood for a couple years now. As with any political en devour or construction project she has run into resistance from some of the neighborhood as well as some officials.
One of the snags is that in order to start getting grants a certain amount of funds or matching funds have to be raised to begin with.
Is anyone here familiar with the process of creating a non-profit org for something like this? What’s involved? Are there stipulations or should we look for stipulations that the bodies that may be providing the grants require?
It would be great if anyone here has actually tried to do this if they could share their experience.
