The Foundation Center's Guide to Proposal Writing

Abstract:

The revised edition of the Guide to Proposal Writing provides an up-to-date comprehensive manual on the basics and finer points of this crucial nonprofit skill. Incorporating recent interviews with the people who review your proposals, the volume furnishes current and valuable insider information, candid tips from grantmakers who clue you into the best proposal strategies. This edition guides you through the entire grantwriting process, from pre-proposal planning, to the writing itself, to the essential post-grant follow-up. You'll learn about all the necessary components of the grant proposal package and how to develop and fine-tune each part. The Guide includes new examples of actual proposals--cover letters, project descriptions, budgets and more--to provide you with models of well-constructed grant proposals that have recently won support.

The new revised edition reflects findings from a recent survey of 20 grantmakers. You'll learn about new trends in grantmaking and the proposal review process. You'll get straight answers to questions on proposed formats, follow-up strategies, how to re-submit a rejected request and much more. The first section of the Guide emphasizes the work you must accomplish before you start to write. An updated bibliography of other readings on the topic is also included. The Guide offers the kind of practical instruction that you will find in no other source. Recommended for nonprofit management programs and universities. (Publisher's catalog)
