Winning Grants Step by Step: The Complete Workbook for Planning, Developing and Writing Successful Proposals (The Jossey-Bass Nonprofit Guidebook Series)
Additional Info:
The hallmark feature of Winning Grants is its accessible, step-by-step approach to the grant-writing process, which will not change with the exception of a reordering of the steps for clarity and flow. It is within this established and very successful step-by-step framework that this new edition will address significant changes in the grantseeking landscape since the 3rd edition published in 2008. The book features new material on the role of technology (more foundations of all sizes going paperless and conducting application submissions via websites and/or specific forms online), the explosive growth and proliferation of donor advised funds (DAF's) the differences in approach between new projects and existing/continuing projects, and techniques for submitting grant proposals to larger foundations versus smaller foundations with little or no staff. In addition: A new section will be added on the role of new media and online social networks in the grantseeking and grantmaking process. A new section will be added on public funding, which has never been explored in previous editions but is a constant source of questions. The budget chapter will be overhauled, simplified and updated with current thinking and best practices A companion website will replace the CDROM and house all pertinent worksheets, examples and resources The Glossary and Terms of Use will be completely refreshed New proposal examples will be added including: general operating, new project, existing project, collaborative proposals.
