Item Description

Grant-writing seems quite straightforward to people who don't need a grant, but very difficult to the people who are desperate for funding — especially in this post-9/11 environment of massive budget cuts and urgent needs. The Only Grant-Writing Book You'll Ever Need: An Insider's Guide, written by two authors who have won millions of dollars in grants, provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide for grant writers, de-mystifying the process while offering indispensable advice from funders. This book teaches how to figure out what a grantmaker really wants, and how to make the most effective pitch. It is for everyone seeking grants for non-profit organizations, municipal, county, and state governments, school superintendents, principals, teachers, and boards of education, and people seeking funds for scholarly and cultural projects.

The Only Grant-Writing Book You'll Ever Need includes the following:

• A glossary of terms with just about any word, phrase, or concept a grant writer may need, plus fifty tips for writing a winning proposal;
• Guidance on developing a realistic, cost-effective, collaborative program;
• Concrete suggestions (with practice exercises and examples) for approaching each section of a grant so that the proposal is absolutely clear to the funder.

5 stars grant writing book 2010-02-19

Reviewer: E. Middleton

The book is well written and was delivered in a timely manner. The price was good too.

1 stars NOT for Scientific Writing 2010-01-05

Reviewer: Andrew Anderson

The title of this book is very pretentious as is most of the text. If you are looking to develop an understanding of grants at the k-12 level or extramural programs for students k-12 or intermediate students, then this book may be of help. Others reviews suggest that this book it useful for all types of grant writing, which is far from the truth. Do not purchase this book if you are looking to refine your grant writing skills at the academic level. Although this book may of use for k-12 related programs, know that the material will be presented to you as if you were a third grader (note the title).

5 stars My favorite grant writing book 2009-12-31

Reviewer: natzbug

As a new grant writer, I am really enjoying this book and it's my favorite thus far. I really loved the fact that it is current and talks about the economy downturn and how it affects potential funding. Another reason I like this is book is that it gave actual testimonies of funders and their likes/dislikes. Great book for grant writers!!!
