This book by 'The Foundation Center' is indespensible for those interested in forming a nonprofit as well as current Directors who wish to have a reference guide on current developments in the structure and dynamics of modern nonprofits. There is a wealth of information in this book, and I rate it a 'Must Read.'

The substantial revised and thoroughly updated fourth edition of The Foundation Center's Guide To Proposal Writing from the Foundation Center by fund raising expert Jane C. Geever is an authoritative guide to the basics of proposal writing in order to secure funding for any kind of project or study. Featuring pre-proposal planning tips, components of the proposal, and guidance from grantmakers, The Foundation Center's Guide To Proposal Writing delves deeply into a comprehensive and "user-friendly" reference for grantmaking, decision making, and significant strategies for successfully compiling and shaping proposal formats and requests. The Foundation Center's Guide To Proposal Writing is very strongly recommended for anyone requiring a complete and thorough instructional guide through the evaluation process and writing skills for grant applications and funding proposals.

This book provides examples of data, letters, information, and Project Description required when submitting letters to organizations requiring Proposals for funding grants. The Master Proposal Format is outlined in detail, which includes a Project Budget from the requesting parties.

The book is a very useful reference in grant writing. The book contains advice on what not to do, written by funders. I am glad I purchased the item.
