Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative Supports Legislation to Remove Unnecessary Government Prohibition on Internet Gambling

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative announced its support for the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act, introduced today by Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). The bill would create a taxation regime for online gambling companies to be licensed under the recently introduced Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2046).

As Congress works to find funding for critical government programs, Congressman McDermott’s legislation is expected to generate between $6 billion and $25 billion in revenues for the U.S. Treasury in the first five years of enactment.

Congressman McDermott’s legislation functions as a companion bill to the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, which would establish a licensing and enforcement framework for regulated Internet gambling in the U.S.

We work in rural areas to prevent disability and to empoer them through community based rehabilitation services.There is huge number of disabled children as well as adults who are neglected by the community. Practically they get no help and are destined to live in their fate.Superstitions,poverty ,ignorance make the situation worse.

There are several avenues to help raise money

– You can check out grants, although these are difficult to get. http://www.grants.gov – federal grant site
http://national.unitedway.org/eway/grants/index.cfm – United Way grants

– You can do some online fundraising. You can check out this site: http://www.care2.com, or visit my site: http://www.myopenhands.com

– You can set up alliances with local businesses. See if they will donate products/services or money in exchange for advertising. What kind of advertising can you offer them online/on vehicles/at events you might have, etc?

this co. promises to find grant $ for Small Businesses can I trust them?

NO you cannot.

They will simply ask you to pay first, and once you do, you’ll never hear from them again. You will not get the grants promised to you and you will never get your money back in return.

Why? Because the government does not really give grants to expand a for profit business UNLESS your business is eligible for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html

"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE’S NONE.
