Book Description
An expert in securing grant money provides a clear, step-by-step course in grant writing that readers can attend” from the comfort of their home or office ― and proceed with at their own pace.
Many organizations that desperately need financial support miss opportunities for funding for two reasons: They don’t have the knowledge or resources to successfully pursue and win a grant or they are ignorant of the range of possibilities in private, federal, or state-sourced funds available to them. With the emergence of economic stimulus money intended to assist nonprofits and government agencies suffering in the poor economic conditions, grant-writing is now a more relevant skill than ever before.
