I am writing to rebut what this claimed former employee has said about My Funding Resources.  I do not work for the company, but I do work with the company.  I am biased - I will admit that right upfront.  I don't think you can give much credence to anyone who does not admit their own biases.

This former employee claims to be coming to Ripoff Report out of a guilty conscience.  However, given the extent of this ex-employee's allegations, it would seem that he worked for the company for a long period of time before his supposed guilty conscience caused him to act.  In reality, this ex-employee was likely fired, meaning that he has decided to exact some retribution on the company that fired him by coming online and spouting his claimed facts and figures in the hopes of damaging the company.  Or, he is flat out lying.  This does not create much in the way of credibility for the individual.

Either way, I feel it necessary to address some of the concerns that this ex-employee has raised with the alleged scam that he participated in over a lengthy period of time:

It is true that the company operates in a secured building.  The leased premises are owned and operated by a company that leases space to several companies in several buildings.  The owner of the buildings saw fit to include a secured main entrance to this and each of its buildings, to the best of my knowledge.  This ex-employee appears to be attempting to claim that the secured building is further evidence that the company operates a "scam".  There is no basis for such an insinuation, especially as the company does not own the building it operates in.

This ex-employee is clearly unaware of the costs to the company.  I am not going to write and say that the company does not seek to earn a profit.  It is a for-profit business.  However, this fired employee does not possess accurate information regarding the costs that the company incurs throughout the process of helping its customers find and apply for grants and funding opportunities.  One thing that this ex-employee did state correctly is that the company does not and cannot guarantee receipt of a grant.  Whether a customer obtains a grant depends on a lot of things, including the commitment of the customer and whether the customer actually applies for funding opportunities.  Because the company cannot control what the customer will do with the information provided to the customer, the company does ask for payment upfront.  Any business providing educational materials does the same thing.  It isn't as though someone can attend college without paying for it until after they receive a diploma.  Rather, you pay for the information you receive.  What the individual does with the information is up to them. 

The company receives information about individuals who have expressed interest in seeking funding opportunities.  The company does not seek out any particular demographic.  Rather, the company receives information about any and all sizes, shapes and ages of people seeking funding opportunities and resources.  The company does not seek out or prefer to sell to any demographic.  Perhaps this is what this ex-employee did while he worked for the company - and this is potentially why the individual no longer works for the company.

The company has stringent policies and procedures in place to ensure that each customer is treated fairly and receives what he or she has paid for.  The company does offer a guarantee that it will find funding opportunities for which the customer is qualified to apply for.  If there are no funding opportunities available for the customer to apply for, the customer is refunded 100%.

The company does do business in Sandy, Utah.  This is where the headquarters of the company is located.  The company has a business license with the city and is a registered Utah entity.  The company receives information about individuals who are seeking financial assistance, usually in the form of grants.  Because there is a significant amount of information about grants available to everyone, the company provides personalized research tailored to the individual customers' profiles.  This way the individual does not receive information about applying for grants in one state when the customer lives in an entirely different state.  The research is done by a firm specializing in grant researching services.  The customer's information is used to develop a personalize packet of information of grants and other funding opportunities available to the individual customer.  The company then contacts the customer to walk through the results of the research to ensure that the customer understands what he or she is looking at.

If the customer has purchased mentoring services with the company, the customer is then contacted weekly by the mentoring staff to assist the customer through the application process for the grant and funding opportunities available to that individual.  These individuals are trained in the process of writing grant applications and can fully assist anyone through this process.  These phone calls typically happen once a week, but may be more frequent depending on the needs of the individual customer.  By the end of the mentoring sessions, the customer either has or is prepared to apply for the funding the customer is seeking.

 This company provides a valuable service to its customers.  It seeks to pair individuals looking for funding resources with those resources.  The company further seeks to prepare the individual to be able to be competitive in applying for funding opportunities.  The company's goal is to ensure that its customers are satisfied with their purchase and that the customers are as best prepared to enter the world of grant applications as possible.  Armed with personalized research and mentoring based on the research results, the customer should be prepared to apply for, and hopefully obtain the funding resources they desire.

This ex-employee is attempting to muddy the waters for anyone seeking help in researching and applying for funding opportunities.  He has his reasons for doing so, but he is only supplying misinformation or lies.
