This workbook provides information on each of the parts of a proposal (Need Statement, Objectives, Methods, Evaluation, Budget & Future Funding) and then provides a worksheet for each section to assist the reader in developing a first draft of his/her own proposal. Ideally, once you have made your way through each of the worksheets you will have a well designed proposal ready to submit to a funding organization. This workbook has good intentions but it does not quite get you to the "finish line." One of the most valuable features is the checklist that comes at the end of each step/chapter in the workbook. These short overviews help you consider some of the things you may have forgotten as you rate that step in the writing.

Customer Reviews

grant writing
A waste of money as the grant writing examples do not fit non-profit organizations. Workbook style and who has time to do the pages plus write the grant!

great condition
Thank you, the book arrived before the required date, which is always a bonus. the book was also in great condition. Again, I thank you!

Very useful book
I have been reading lots of books on how to write grants, being new to the field. They are all good, this one is concise and well laid out, the information is clear and the samples are good. I would recommend it. We will see how successful I am...that will be the real test of how well the book worked.
