Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Excellent Choice
Review: 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.

Review Summary: Absolutely THE BEST book on grant writing EVER!
Review: 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.
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.
The authors present a concise technique to search for grants, gather necessary information, and finally compose proposals that actually win awards.
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.
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.

Review Summary: Three years later, I still return to this book
Review: 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.

Review Summary: A systematic approach to grants ... and a good read, too
Review: 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.
