I have been running a business that teaches children bully conflict resolution, women's assertiveness & self-defense. My staff and I do virtually all our courses for free as a public service. I would really like to pay my staff for their time and effort. I was told that if I was a non-profit entity, I could aquire grants and donations that could be used to reimburse my staff.

I am clueless on what to do next. Is non-profit the way to go? Is it possible to aquire grants? Any advice appreciated.

I am a SCORE Counselor. If you came to SCORE we could help you with grants.
SCORE is FREE.

We could also suggest you develop a Business Plan ( and yes could also help you) FREE
