Fantastice Resource for the beginner Grant Writer June 24, 2008
Excellent source for getting started.. The web-links resource lists start an avalanche of available resources. Very practical suggestions on how to organize and establish a grant writing process.

In the process of learning how to do something new - grant writing. It always help me to have something to refer back to after leaving a class. This book is helping me tremendously.

The best book to use if you have NEVER written a grant. Takes you through step by step and does not feel like a DUMMY but a possible grant WINNER!

Good Intro April 25, 2007
3 out of 9 found this review helpful

This is a good intro, without much information on actual grants for specific purposes. If you are an educator, non-profit, or individual interested in grants related to technology, for innovation, curriculum, development, emerging technologies, I recommend Technology Grant News: Everything Technology: Awards-Contests-Grants-Scholarships. Technology Grant News: Everything Technology [2007]:Awards Contests Grants -Scholarships Fellowships

Grant writing for dummies....as a reference November 13, 2006
14 out of 18 found this review helpful

This is a good starter book, but it does not provide quality resources for you to practice the skills gained. You should build your skills with quality templates, references, wording techniques. I would caution readers to move on to a good intermediate work like Government Funding and You. This book will provide you with the skills to put together a quality grant with the potential LAND that grant. This book is an excellent start, but Government Funding and You is a crucial next step.
