I reside in IL and I'm trying to find ways to better my church how can I do so? Where do I start?

To make a long story short I'm simply trying to find ways to better my church. There are things my church needs such as a new bus or van for picking people up for church being the major thing as well as help with paying our light and gas bill. Can I reach out to Nicor and ComEd and see if they will lower it discount our bill? As far as a van or bus, can I write a grant or propsal to see if we can have one donated maybe from Ford or even a used van or bus what would be the best way to go about doing this? I appreciate your help in advance GOD bless!
