Grants for African Americans

...''For countless years, I have dreamed of owning and operating my own business. I made that dream into a
reality approximately seven years ago now, and have since then built a successfully run operation. I am the
sole operator and owner of my trucking company. I deliver fresh produce and dry goods to numerous
establishments across eleven western states. I have developed a true sense of commitment and dedication to
this establishment as it is my own proposal and source of livelihood. My ultimate goal is to expand my
company and sustain longevity. I feel that I have already laid the groundwork in the healthy development of
this plan. My business is already a solidly run company with support from countless suppliers. I provide an
honest, reliable service at a very affordable price. Because of this, I have developed an excellent support
network and great customer relations. I take pride in what I do and feel confident that this plan of expansion
will succeed. I enjoy my job thoroughly and feel that I have developed an excellent plan. My plan includes
purchasing additional trucks and trailers. Regrettably, I often have to turn away customers because I am
unable to deliver to their area on my own. Right now I am able to deliver to eleven different states
singlehandedly. This is not a simple task and I am hoping to ease that delivery route with additional trucks.
With this addition I will be able to reach a wider audience of establishments and expand operations to other
areas. I also plan on hiring additional personnel. This will enable me to offer more employment
opportunities to members of my community. I would like to hire six more drivers, two maintenance
workers, and a bookkeeper. With more employees, business operations will continue to run smoothly and in
a timelier manner. I am requesting for a personal or grants for african americans. The major obstacle that I
have faced in this business venture is the financial backing needed to expand this already successfully
established business. I have built great customer relationships and provide a quality, honest, and reliable
service. I am confident that this company will sustain longevity. With hard work and dedication I know that
this goal of expansion will be a success. I believe in this plan to the fullest extent. However, I lack the
financial backing and support needed to make this dream a reality. I recently came across your website while
searching for private grants for african americans. With your assistance I feel that this goal is attainable and
I have full confidence that I will build upon my previous success and that this company will flourish....''
