Hi all.  Below are a couple of grant opportunities that could benefit small business and sacred spaces.

American Express Small Business Grant
American Express is teaming up with Main Street America to give 10 small business owners $10,000 each to help their businesses innovate in retail.  The grant is The American Express Future of Shopping Small Grant Program, and the link is below.  They are accepting applications through March 31st or whenever 3,000 applications have been submitted - whichever is sooner.
