Savvy Mommy is proud to announce the Luna Business Grant. 
</p>
<p>
Are you a mom with a business idea? If so, you&#39;re invited to apply for a Luna Business Grant sponsored by SavvyMommy.com. 
</p>
<p>
<strong>* * * Congratulations the first Luna Business Grant for Moms winners has been chosen. She&#39;ll be announced shortly.&nbsp; Check back soon! * * *</strong> 
</p>
<p>
The purpose of the Luna Business Grant, which was named after the children of the founder of SavvyMommy.com, is to help other moms achieve their business dreams. Savvy Mommy has always assisted moms in business with business advice but now wants to help some moms who want to start their own business, but do not have the finances to make it happen. 
</p>
<p>
Since obtaining money to start a business is far from easy; Savvy Mommy will give one mom a $1,000 Luna Business Grant, which requires absolutely no repayment. This is a fabulous opportunity for any mom who has an amazing business idea or wants to expand her existing business. And a new grant winner will be chosen every three months - allowing the Luna Business Grant to be possible for two (2) moms in 2006 and four (4) moms in 2007! 
</p>
<p>
For the 1<sup>st</sup> Luna Business Grant, Savvy Mommy has teamed up with Sharpie, Franklin Covey, WordGenius.com, Microsoft Hardware, MomAgenda, See Jane Work, Vista Print, PhotoStamps, Nokia and Plantronics to provide the winning mom with essential business start up products. This will allow the $1,000 business grant to stretch even further since the mom won&#39;t have to purchase this equipment themselves. The exciting news continues as the mom chosen will also receive a brand new computer and printer and&nbsp;<a href="http://thedesignshoppe.com/" target="_blank">The Design Shoppe</a>&nbsp;has agreed to create a website or spruce up the existing website for the winning mom. (Guess you can say your grant will technically be for much more than $1,000.) 
</p>
<p>
<strong>What&#39;s the catch?</strong> If you are chosen you must use the Luna Business Grant to help your existing business or start a new one. And you have to let us know how you spent the grant within 30 days of receiving it. That&#39;s it. 
</p>
<p>
<strong>What qualifications must be met?</strong> You must be a mom over the age of 21 living in the United States. If not already, you will become a subscriber to the FREE SavvyMommy.com <em>Essentials</em> newsletter before applying for the Luna Business Grant. And you have to pay the $25 application fee to be considered. 
</p>
<p class="note">

(Don&rsquo;t order a Venti Decaf Skim Sugar Free Vanilla Latte for a week and you&rsquo;ll have your application fee and will be thismuchcloser to your business dream. And if you are serious about starting or expanding your business, this application fee will not stand in your way.) 
</p>
<p>
