			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for funding for you business, I have a couple of free resources that may be of value to you.</p>
<p>The first resource is <a href="http://www.grants.gov/applicants/apply_for_grants.jsp">Grants.Gov</a>. Here, you can get a grant application packet and figure out which grants fit your needs.</p>
<p>The second resource is a different type of resource. It is actually the <a href="http://www.stromcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/documents/strategic_plan_2020_targets.pdf"><strong>North Dakota Economic Development 2020 Target Goals</strong></a>, which were compiled by ND EDND/Commerce. This document allows you to see what the projected year 2020 looks like, which will help you better figure out which areas to focus your efforts on now. It will also help you figure out what type of grants to apply for. On top of that, it&#8217;s just a really good way to get an idea of what the year 2020 might look like <img src='http://www.stromcenter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For more information about either of these resources, please <a href="mailto:kimberly.goldsmith@dickinsonstate.edu?subject=Free Resources"><strong>contact me</strong></a>.</p>
