    ....For my small business, which is my non profit organization 'Make-A-Man', a mentor/training program helping to educate and empower at-risk males in Inner city and Urban Houston areas....

    In the upcoming weeks I will be applying for several grants and contest, as I have chosen to do so in order to make others aware of the program publicly.

    I am starting with Mission Small Business, Please help me get 250 votes for a $250,000 small business grant. Your vote will be greatly appreciated and extremely beneficial to several communities in Houston that I plan to help!

    How To Vote:

    1. Go to MissionSmallBusiness.com and log in using Facebook.

    2. Search my business name "Make A Man"

    3. Click the blue vote button amd support my small business.

    Thanks to all in advance! :)

    Can you give more details on your business and why it deserves the 250,000? That's a lot of money, and while I'd like to give a vote to a fellow clutchfan with no questions asked under normal circumstances, this isn't normal. I'd hate to deprive a great business their opportunity just to help a stranger on the internet with a bad business plan.

    Not that you have a bad business plan, but I don't really know what your plan is at all! Give some details on yourself, your business, etc. I don't log into facebook unless I aim to take action, so if there is a blurb on there, post it here so I can read it.

    Thanks in advance and good luck to you!

    Any way you can set up a non-facebook vote? I don't do FB.

    You sure this is legit? 250 votes seem too small for a large sum of 250,000 dollars.

    Is this like 250 votes left for you to win, or you are like starting from 0?

    The applicants who receive at least 250 votes will be considered for a grant. In other words, a guy receiving 250 votes has the same chance for getting a grant as a guy receiving 1,000,000 votes. It doesn't appear that the vote totals mean anything other than getting the application to a committee.

    correct! You have to receive 250 votes to be considered for the grant. 12 recipients chosrn by a panelist of business experts will be selected for the grant so its really not that easy, I just hope I am selected.
