Getting Loans Without Collateral

Loans without collateral are simply called Grants. A Grant is a sum of money given by a government or other organization for a particular purpose be it for Business, Research, Humanities e.t.c
For now the only Grant we have in Nigeria YOUWIN (www.youwin.org.ng) and some other Private Grants from Philanthropists. However, Nigerians and Africans can access International Grants from Europe, America e.t.c through creation of A Non Governmental Organization (NGO). To Incorporate an NGO in Nigeria, it as to be registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) http://new.cac.gov.ng/home/  after visiting the website, you would have full details of what it takes  and what you need to Register an NGO in Nigeria.

Now my question is, What is the focus of the NGO you want to establish in order to access Grants? Is it Political? Religious? Cultural? Education, Health? Agriculture? etc whatever the case might be, make sure you have passion for whichever area you want to focus on. Work on it properly. There are so many NGO's in Nigeria today and people wonder how they are being funded? they are funded through Grants & Donations from well meaning individuals, companies, businessmen and women, religious bodies, political organizations/parties e.tc an example of an NGO is "Save Nigeria Group". Below are the list of Organizations that give Grants to NGO's, Foundations e.tc

Grants for NGOs and Organisations: The following includes grants for NGOs andorganizations. NGOs and Organizations whichrun projects to improve the livelihoods of local communities stand a good chance of getting the grants.
