Unless your state has some, there is no specific grants for felons, in fact if you were convicted of certain crims such as drugs you will be disqualifed from many grants other felons can get.

And if you are a felons desiring to start their own business. Prison Entrepreneurship Program is a non-profit organization which is "a Houston-based nonprofit organization that leverages the skills of senior business executives to constructively redirect these talents and equip inmates and former inmates with entrepreneurial training

Hi,

My name is TJ and I'm an ex-felon currently living in Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm 46 years old, married 17 years to my wonderful husband and we have 5 children. Twin boys age 15, a 9 year old daughter and twin girls age 7.

We are all Christians and sports fanatics. Our sons play high school football, basketball, and run track as well as AAU basketball and track. Our daughters play soccer and basketball and will start running track this summer.

My husband and I both played high school sports, specifically basketball, track and volleyball. My passion and calling is to become a Christian Personal Trainer.

I love to work out to Chiristian music as well as meditate to scriptures during my strength training exercises. I am truly blessed by the Best.

Love and God Bless
