Get Grants Now: A Guide For Nonprofit Board Members, Volunteers and Staff

Whether you are a volunteer who has never written a proposal or an experienced staff person who has written many, Get Grants Now offers a helpful perspective on seeking foundation and corporate grants to support the mission of your nonprofit. Based on more than 30 years as a volunteer, Board member, staff and consultant in the wonderful world of nonprofits, Jane B. Ford's experience and conversational writing style combine to make this book both a useful tool and an enjoyable read. Her eleven-step process for securing grants begins with the understanding of the importance of mission to all funding, and concludes with a useful and amusing chapter that offers five keys to writing well. In between, you will find detailed guidance, useful resources, easy-to-use forms, valuable sample documents and pertinent stories from the author's decades of grant seeking, designed to help you not only write proposals but enjoy the process as well. Get Grants Now belongs in the resource library of every nonprofit organization that uses - or wants to use - grant funding to support their work.
