Product Description
Effective grant proposals are not so much written as they are extensively researched, developed, and positioned. The actual writing, obviously an essential component, is nevertheless only the tip of the iceberg. Grant seekers must possess the necessary skills to correctly identify potential funders, craft a proposal that meets a specific funder's needs, and follow that funder's directions to the letter. Cheryl New and James Quick take grant seekers step-by-step through the entire development and drafting process in How to Write a Grant Proposal. The authors concentrate on all the behind-the-scenes, pre-writing work that makes the difference between successful grant proposals and those that potential funders discard as "nonresponsive." New and Quick concentrate on crafting specific proposals that prove a perfect match between a funder and a solicitor's needs. Funders and the nonprofit organizations they support are both in the business of solving problems; the key is creating a project that addresses a problem that both parties are interested in solving. How to Write a Grant Proposal provides targeted guidance for a variety of kinds of organizations, including: K—12 private and public educational organizations Government agencies For-profit businesses Health care organizations Traditional nonprofits Higher education universities and centers A companion CD-ROM contains guidesheets and templates that can be easily downloaded, customized, and printed. The authors provide examples of completed proposals and numerous case studies to demonstrate how the grant-seeking process typically works.

I have had this book so long I am afraid to let it go. Why? It remains relevant even with the changing times. It's a good read and a handy reference. Easy to understand, properly laid out, and full of the right kind of info a grant writer seeks. Can't go wrong for this price.

This book reminded me of the many different things we can forget daily in the world of seeking grants. I've also used it as a resource with clients to show examples as well as why programming must be handled before applying for money.
