The Only Grant-Writing Book You'll Ever Need: Top Grant Writers and Grant Givers Share Their Secrets

Grant writing seems quite straightforward to people who don't need a grant, but very difficult to people who are desperate for funding--especially in this post-9/11 environment of massive budget cuts and urgent need. This book, 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 indispensible advice from funders. In fact, it's the only book you'll find that's filled with in-depth interviews with government and foundation grantmakers. You'll learn exactly what a grantmaker wants, and how to make the most effective pitch. Ellen Karsh headed the New York City Mayor's Office of Grants Administration under Rudy Giualiani and Mike Bloomberg, and Arlen Sue Fox currently manages the development department at a large New York City not-for-profit organization. Together, the authors have written the one and only book for EVERYONE seeking grants--not-for-profit oraganizations, municipal, county, and state governments, school superintendents, principals, teachers, and boards of education, and people seeking funds for scholarly and cultural projects. The book includes up-to-date resources, sample forms, and proposal components; a guide to using the internet to find grant opportunities; a glossary of terms with any word, phrase, or concept a grant writer may need; plus fifty tips for writing a winning proposal.

It Just Might Be True!, 2007-11-17
I'm studying grant writing and have been picking up all these grant writing books. By far, this was the easiest for me to delve into. I thought that odd as I expected the Idiot's and Dummy's guides to be easier and quicker, but the narrative in this book is a pleasant read and the grant writing process just makes so much sense the way the authors present the information. Good job!
