I tried to answer a posting on one of the online message forums but couldn't. Then I thought that it would be a great idea to post the question and my answer here!
"Hi. I'm an African American female interested in opening a small for profit daycare center in metro Atlanta (not home based). I have a business plan, a MEd. in Early Childhood Ed., and 11 years of teaching experience.
Can anyone tell me of any RELIABLE grant sources or other sources for funding a center?
Unfortuntately lack of funds is the main thing holding me back. Thanks for any info.

Actually the fact that you are a minority and that you want to start a business may make you eligible for grants other than just those limited to starting a daycare.
I had a woman client who wanted to get grant information for her already existing childcare and I was able to send her 10 pages worth of grant program information that her daycare might be eligible to apply for! But don't just limit yourself to just daycare-related grants!
The fact that you are a minority, woman and that you want to START a business may qualify you for much more!
