Building a Community center

[Cameron Rieman]

I have came across an old school building that I would love to rehab for the local community. The building is to old to be torn down and need upwards of 2m to rehab the building. I was wondering if it would be possible to raise grant money to help me do it. Where does one start with a project like that. I'm working up a business plan now would love some more thoughts and opinions.

1) Who give grants for this kind of thing

2) I have checked with zoning, I'm thinking about doing something like a Affordable daycare, Offices for Native American Council (Building does have cultural significance), Grounds for Pow Wows and redo the gym in there for community event.  What would be a solid next step?
