Book Description

April 20, 2000 0325001979 978-0325001975
Need money to expand your program, train your staff, or create your project? Be assured, the money is out there. All you need to know is where the grant makers are, what they're looking for, and how to produce it. I'll Grant You That provides all three, presenting a complete course on obtaining grants.

Part book, part CD-ROM, I'll Grant You That is an all-in-one resource for finding funds, designing winning projects, and writing powerful proposals. The book itself offers everything you need to write a successful proposal. Not only does it walk you step by step through the process, it provides a series of workshops in those areas you might need a little help, including writing, organizing, presenting, and being creative. On the CD-ROM, you'll find annotated sample grants that explain what works-and what doesn't-in writing a winning grant, links to a host of Internet resources for grants and grant writing, and self-assessment tools to help you write the best grant possible.

Burke and Prater's own efforts have led not only to millions of dollars, but, more important, to improved education for their students, better communities, and richer professional lives. With I'll Grant You That, the authors grant you the same.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Rarely have I found such a detailed, thought-out description and analysis for applying for funds. Teachers should be able to use this for a reference for as long as they search for funds.”–Bill Somerville, President of Philanthropic Ventures Foundation

“This book carries a wealth of useful information in its twenty-three chapters.”–The School Administrator

About the Author

In addition to teaching music at Crystal Springs Upland School and Burlingame Elementary School, Carol Ann Prater has spent the past fifteen years as Director of Special Projects/Grants and in that capacity, as well as her role as site administrator for different enrichment programs, she has secured tens of millions of dollars in grant funds. Carol also trains educators across the country in the art of proposal writing, helping them win millions of dollars in state, federal, and foundations grants.

Jim Burke is the author of the Heinemann title What's the Big Idea? The question he's always tried to answer is "How can we teach our students better?" He began this search in his own classroom at Burlingame High School in California, where he still teaches. He shares his experiences there in bestselling professional titles with Heinemann such as The English Teacher's Companion; Reading Reminders; and Writing Reminders as well as through Heinemann Professional Development Services. Looking to his peers for still more answers, he founded the English Companion Ning, described by Education Week as "the world's largest English department." Jim continues to find and support best practices in many other ways, including serving on national commissions related to adolescent literacy and standards, such as the Advanced Placement English Literature and Language Course and Exam Review Commission with the College Board, and by being a senior author on the Holt McDougal Harcourt Literature series. Jim has received numerous awards, including the NCTE Intellectual Freedom Award, the NCTE Conference on English Leadership Award, and the California Reading Association Hall of Fame Award. He served on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Committee on Adolescence and Young Adulthood English Language Arts Standards and recently worked with ACT on their high school English Language Arts standards. In 2007, he participated in the national Adolescent Literacy Coalition roundtable and worked with the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

This review is from: I'll Grant You That: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Funds, Designing Winning Projects, and Writing Powerful Grant Propos (Paperback)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I'll Grant You That: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Funds, Designing Winning Projects, and Writing Powerful Grant Propos (Paperback)
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.
