To give grantseekers an idea of what's working in the field, Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals provides copies of actual award-winning proposals, tips on why some proposals fail, insight into some of the most common mistakes made by grantseekers, and a handy reference checklist of do's and don'ts when writing a grant proposal. Topics featured in Winning Strategies include: "Creating a Grant Proposal Library"; "Standard Elements of a Proposal"; "What Kind of Funding Is Available From the Federal Government"; and "Addressing Common Concerns About Project Management." The 96-page soft-bound book also includes lists of resources for more information about federal agencies, corporate and foundation grantmakers, and current grant opportunities. Copies of the standard application forms used by the federal government, as well as a sample grant proposal form used by many private foundations, are reproduced in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Money well spent,
By Peter Layne (Annapolis, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals (Paperback)
I'd always thought my proposals were pretty good. But after I read this book, and got the inside details on what grantors are really looking for, I had much better success in landing much-needed money for our projects.It's really important these days to go the extra mile to get limited funds. And Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals really made a difference.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Books are hard to read when drunk.,
This review is from: Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals (Paperback)
While my old job required me to be up to date regarding the procurement of federal funds, my new job (the one where I sit on the couch all day and while my wife belittles me for not being a provider) does not. That being said, I once saw a cat eat poop.
This book is good though. If you like, you know, boring books, or grants. I guess grants are good too. I can't tell because the pink giraffe next to me is laughing so hard I can't hear myself think. Where did I put that donkey? He had my chips, dammit! In conclusion, Grants is good! Buy book... PS The donkey has not yet returned. Send chips

This review is from: Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals (Paperback)
I'd always thought my proposals were well written. But after reading Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals, I got a much better understanding of what grant reviewers are really looking for.I must say that I've had more success getting much-needed funds for our community projects. It's easy to read, and makes a lot of sense.
