I have a very specific question. I am a graduate student and I will be
completing a summer internship in Trinidad and Tobago in the field of
youth reproductive health services. I will be working with the local
Plannes Parenthood affiliate and they cannot afford to pay me. I have
already secured a grant for half of my estimated budget ($2,000) and I
need to find an organization, charitable group that would provide the
remainder without a lengthy application process. Preferably it would
be a place that provides small grants to needy students. I am female,
Caribbean American and my field is Public Health. Also HIV is a very
serious problem among this youth population. To be clear I only want
the names of organizations that would be willing to give me money by
May 30th which is when I would leave for my assignment. Thanks

Hello crazylove-ga,

It's creative of you to seek help from Google Answers but I think the
chances are fairly remote that any grant giving organization will be
able to act on your application in less than two weeks. If they have
money to give, they've probably already allocated it to people who met
their various rules and application guidelines.

Your best bet will be to try to find an angel -- an individual or
organization that can hear your story and act on it quickly without
having to adhere to policties and procedures.

Good luck.
