I work with intellectually disabled clients. One of my clients is wanting to start a small home business. This client makes bead necklaces. She needs a grant in order to do this. The local Department of Rehab is no help except to refer me here to find ideas and answers. The small business office can help her to develop a plan to present to the bank for a loan but she is in need of a grant.

Getting a grant to sell bead necklaces is going to take lots of research.  I would definitely advise the client to start the homework process of research:  there is a grant book that I was reading once; located at Barnes and Nobles and had a whole directory of grants available to small business.  
Its going to take lots of writing so a grant writer is necessary.  Or have this client start learning to "grant write" by sending her/him to a class.  This is the best benefit.
