Synopsis

The competition for government and foundation grants is steeper than ever in this post-9/11 environment of urgent monetary need. For everyone who has to raise money through grants, for every type of organization and government agency, comes a book that details winning strategies for developing grant proposals, from authors who know where the money is and know how to get it. The authors frame writing the grant proposal as the final, not-too-difficult step in a comprehensive and methodical process. From the first step of determining what kinds of funding are most appropriate, they show readers how to identify a compelling need, analyze the effectiveness of existing programs to address that issue, and develop one or more of these existing programs or create an innovative one that will indeed have an impact. Along the way, they explain how to build a coalition when it is needed to implement the program efficiently. The grant application becomes a showcase for readers' organization, well-designed programs, and dedicated partners.
