Editorial Reviews

Review

 "Finding Funding succeeds as the most coherent, instructive volume of its kind. It is highly recommended for school system leaders, especially grants administrators, new project coordinators, and grantwriters."

(Philip A. Nathan )

"The basics of grantwriting from start to finish, including locating funding, internet choices, and project management, are packed into a reference that is filled with advice from grantwriting professionals. Plenty of examples of successful funding efforts are included throughout, from sample forms to analysis of the critical components of a proposal. Highly recommended."
