| I've received offer of information from Matthew Lesko of the unusual suit (and startled face) on internet, Pooh Bear. It relates to governments' and charitable foundations' grants, apparently related to a wide variety of uses. Some of the grants are available from the government, and likely one could find the basic information if one knew where to look, but it appears that he has assembled quite a lot of it in one place - what percentage of the total amount, one wonders, and is much of it really relevant for many of us? How current is it? It appears that he does give advice as to how to deal with the (apparently massive) red tape in making application. Some of the charitable foundations were originally funded by family-owned companies, with a foundation set up on the death of some of the original owners, e.g. Ford, Rockefeller, in order to save taxes and avoid being forced to sell enough of the company to lose control, and with the proviso that family members would manage the foundation. Such as Andrew Carnegie's support of libraries, I think - though I think he gave those gifts during his lifetime. Similar idea, though. The information about the various charitable foundations, may be assembled somewhere else, if one knew where to look. I remember a retired doctor dealing with tuberculosis treatment in Korea 45 years ago was looking for a grant from Rockefeller Foundation, I think it was. Seems to me that the cost of Lesko's information (book? CD?) is somewhat less than $40.00. I received information about another source, as well. Think I have the info here, somewhere. Will see if I can find it. Good wishes to you and yours. joyful guy |
