I don’t know a lick about developing but I have an idea for an app. If I don’t have a lot of money, who can I contact and how can I get my idea started into something real?

Is this a game you're talking about? If so, there's really no demand for an "ideas guy" in game development. Every game developer you talk to has a thousand ideas for a game they could pitch at a moment's notice. Now, if you're a game designer who can throw together coherent design documents, that's a little more reasonable. You'd probably have a hard time convincing a programmer to work for free for you though. My advice would be to get some rudimentary GML (game maker programming language) skills under your belt (its not as hard as you think), throw together a couple of prototypes yourself, get some experience, then find some discord communities and get an armature team together that complements eachothers strengths. An awesome setup for that can be programmer-designer-animator

Hi, thanks for responding so fast. It’s not for a game but I (not understanding anything) thought development for an app that has graphics would work the same as that of developing a game.

There's probably people more qualified that me to ask that question then, my main advice? Learn how to code yourself if that's something you want to pursue-

Here's something I pulled off the internet that might help you- best of luck!

It's not really the same. Depending on what your app is supposed to do and what features it would offer, the developer would choose the programming languages/general tech stack for your app. I think if you are from the us there is that app called fiverr or something where you could get in touch with a developer who could implement your app idea.

Also I don't want to sound rude, but the whole "Hey man I have an idea for an app" is a big meme in the developer community because more often than not, those "ideas" are very bad since they come from people with no or little technical knowledge who have unrealistic expectations.

I understand there are a lot of people with a lot of ideas. If it happens, I’ll come back and update you! Some ideas are truly worthwhile. :) Thank you!
