Anyone know of any grant sites?
I have a friend who is a small business owner (pet store) and is looking to open a B&B. I figured this might be a good place to ask if anyone knew of any places to look for grants. Thanks!

Or find a local chapter of SCORE, service corps of retired executives. They advise on business startups.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
