From the Back Cover

A superior resource to help your nonprofit win the grants you deserve

In an increasingly competitive nonprofit world, even top organizations struggle to extend their fundraising reach or simply maintain current funding levels. This thorough guide to crafting winning grant applications takes you through the entire process–from pinpointing the right funding opportunities, to writing persuasive proposals, to following up later.

Practical, reliable, and accessible to seasoned pros and grant-writing greenhorns alike, Webster’s New World Grant Writing Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of:

  • Different types of foundation and corporate grantmakers
  • Defining your project, as well as your organization’s mission and goals
  • Tailoring your applications to each grantmaker’s interest areas
  • Writing convincing letters of inquiry
  • Organizing and writing hard-hitting proposals
  • Following up on proposals after they’ve been submitted
  • Effective donor cultivation after proposals have been approved

Featuring sample proposals, letters, and application forms; proposal checklists; a glossary of terms; and many illustrative examples, this complete resource is ideal for any nonprofit–whether you’re in a multimillion-dollar university development office or the smallest humanitarian agency.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Grant Writing Handbook, March 8, 2007
This review is from: Webster's New World Grant Writing Handbook (Paperback)
I bought this book for a class and had never written a grant before. I also knew absolutely nothing about the world of grant writing. Because of this book, I was able to produce a quality grant. Wason's instructions are clear and easy to follow. The examples provided offer good examples of what to do. It would have been nice to see examples of what not to do as well.
