5.0 out of 5 stars Truly comprehensive guide, May 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding Funding: The Comprehensive Guide to Grant Writing (2002 edition) (Paperback)
I've read a dozen grant writing books, and this one offers the whole package. Notable strengths of this book include:

1) Get the organization behind your fund raising effort. Barber hits where others miss by consistently illustrating the importance building support for your grant internally, throughout the organization. Only experienced grant writers know how important this is.

2) The dreaded budget. The bottom line in proposal evaluation is the budget. It must be easy to comprehend, be realistic and professional-looking. This book offers important tips on calculating overhead, in direct costs, and bottom-up budgeting that I have seen in no other grant writing text.

3) "Comprehensive Guide": This book (and accompanying disk) offers template materials as well as the historical and philosophical back ground of public funding and philanthropic giving. The book as a whole is important to understanding the nature of fund raising through grants while providing practical advice on how to get that important project funded.

I keep this book nearby and use often for reference.

This review is from: Finding Funding: The Comprehensive Guide to Grant Writing (2002 edition) (Paperback)
This is a good and concise source for help in learning how to write grants, where to find funding sources, and how to approach agencies to generate interest in your project. The information on the CD that accompanies the book is especially helpful.
