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.
