Netstop:Before many jump into the fray on whether or not grants made to "for profits" exist, I would encourage you to use the search box at the top of the page and type in the words
"for-profit grants" and see what happens.
You will find this specific topic is one that appears frequently on this message board, with varying response. Those discussion threads should prove helpful towards understanding for-profit vs. non-profit funding sources.
Hope that helps!
