Winning Grants Step by Step: Support Centers of America's Complete Workbook for Planning, Developing, and Writing Successful Proposals

by Mim Carlson

Written by Mim Carlson In easy-to-understand terms, this workbook shows you how to create a proposal--from start to finish--that fulfills the three most important criteria grantmakers demand, a clearly stated purpose of what your organization is trying to achieve, compelling evidence that demonstrates the importance of that need, and a well-reasoned plan that outlines how your organization will meet this need in a cost-effective manner.

Great car chase scene at the end; stuff blowing up, some great sex scenes.

I am totally making that up.

This book is a terrific basic grant writing book. Each of the chapters is short--like three pages--and introduces a basic grant writing concept. Then, there is a work sheet at the end of each chapter (wh)ich is also on an enclosed CD ROM in MS Word format) that you can fill out about your own project. Work your way through the book carefully and you've compiled all the data you need to write a grant application to a private foundation. Woo hoo!

The drawback is it's so straightforward that you might be in a situation that you need more data, which is why I recommend using this book in conjunction with Karch and Fox's 'The Only Grant Writing Book You'll Ever Need."

A good, useful introduction to writing grants. What it says on the tin without being too long or uninteresting.

This was my text for a Grant Writing for Nonprofits class. The book & CD are very informative and serve their purpose well.
