Excellent Choice August 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this to be an excellent choice for guidance on proposal writing for grant funding. Altho geared more toward foundation funding sources, it also has excellent advice/directives for federal funding applications. I would strongly recommend this as a first choice - particularly of interest is the funding cycle perspective, very helpful.

Absolutely THE BEST book on grant writing EVER! June 16, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The are many books on grant writing, and most of these purport to make the process `easy' or `simple' but no other book that I've discovered presents such a clear, organized method for all level of grant writers. br /br /Whether you're just starting out or you're already entrenched in this essential task for all nonprofits, Demystifying Grant Seeking: What You REALLY Need to Do to Get Grants tells you precisely how to be effective.br /br /The authors present a concise technique to search for grants, gather necessary information, and finally compose proposals that actually win awards. br /br /I've used the system for The Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra, www.claflinhill.org , a cultural organization that I've personally seen grown from burgeoning to thriving in just a few years. With the authors' process, I've pinpointed granters, both business and philanthropic, made initial contact, developed relationships, garnered key points, and submitted successful grants.br /br /Demystifying Grant Seeking: What You REALLY Need to Do to Get Grants is always on my book shelf, except when I'm referring to its procedures or showing it to rising grant seekers.br /br /Bernadette Stockwell, www.callthewriter.com br /br /

An awesome tool for grant writers April 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have an advanced degree in nonprofit management and several years of experience in grant writing. This is the book that is an invaluable tool to me even this far into my efforts. I see it as indispensable for a beginner. An essential classic for anyone taking on the formidable task of grant writing.

Three years later, I still return to this book June 28, 2005
23 out of 24 found this review helpful

I purchased this book to guide me through my first grantwriting position in the winter of 2002, and I still return to it today. The sample letters are valuable, and I have successfully modified them to meet the needs of three different organizations. The filing systems make managing a huge amount of information easy. I always recommed this book to people looking to get started with grant writing, and have sung its praises at several workshops I have conducted for beginning grantwriters.

A systematic approach to grants ... and a good read, too May 19, 2004
25 out of 26 found this review helpful

This book presents a systematic approach that begins with identifying your internal needs and moves through the process of research, proposal development, and outreach to funders. Myths are addressed along the way; for example, grants are not something for nothing, but rather rational deals between colleagues. A good read filled with specific, hands-on advice.
