[Adta] applying for grant - need help

[CAROLYN JOHNSON]

Perhaps someone (or many) can help a group of us in Portland, Oregon who are considering applying for grant money to offer dance-therapy groups to women's shelters or similar agencies.  A few of us (unfortunately not myself) had the opportunity to both see a performance and participate in a workshop (that seemed very much like dance therapy to some) and were inspired to look into the possibility of getting similar underwriting by Johnson and Johnson to offer services in our area. (Gibney's work was sponsored by J & J).   Another woman, a retired doctor, who moves with us in a weekly improvisation group and has some experience with grant writing, proposals, etc. was very eager to facilitate the effort.  We believe we would need to have nonprofit status to make the proposal.  We were wondering if it was possible to utilize the ADTA's nonprofit designation in some way (legally of course!) to make this happen.  There are at least four dance therapists involved and our Oregon group does have an unofficial study-group designation with the ADTA.  As is probably clear we are all pretty new at this business of applying for grants so would appreciate any suggestions and guidance from the seeming boundless wisdom of the listserve participants.

Thanks.
