Winning Grants Step by Step

The Complete Workbook for Planning, Developing, and Writing Successful Proposals

This hands-on, user-friendly workbook guides the user through the basic grantwriting process. It is modeled on creating proposals for program funding and can be adapated easily for general support and other proposals. The book targets this basic truth: A grant proposal must clearly articulate a well thought-out program that both inspires confidence in the nonprofits ability to implement it and fits within the interests of the funder who receives it.

    People with passion and knowledge of a subject can grant write! This is a great resource for anyone that works in nonprofit development. Although the grant process is becoming more and more streamlined via the internet, it is still a good idea to know how to put together effective proposals so that you can translate that knowledge into a foundation’s specific format.
