Customer Reviews

Start Here!
I read the reviews of so many books before I picked this one and I am so glad that I did! It is an excellent start. It allows you the opportunity to springboard into the most complex or simple grant proposal plan.

I started from nothing, only knowing that a grant goes on a piece of paper(s). This book remains an invaluable resource.

limited
This book is primarily aimed at educators writing grants for school or community projects. It is not particularly useful if you intend to write a scientific grant.

Excellent Reference
The book serves an an excellent resource, especially the CD, for Grant Writing classes. It is very handy to refer back to for the actual writing of Grants.
