This is a great and informative book. Easy to follow and understand. If you are trying to write grants and new help with fundrasing this is the book for you



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent as a textbook or for the professional writing grants
I am using this book as a textbook in my business bachelor's degree program. The professor who is a professional grant writer for a Florida college picked this book as she said it covered all the basics with easy to understand steps. I agree, it has been so helpful that I am using it to write a grant for the non-profit that I work for. The website addresses, examples and sample letters are great!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Book....
This book is packed with great information. I like the writer's approach and level of information. I'd also suggest the "Government funding and you series too." Enclosed is a link to this product series. Both titles are highly recommended. The other grant series also has a video too.
