Description
Writing a grant application is never easy, and the competition is often fierce, but this book is an invaluable asset to the administrator seeking funding for his/her school and classroom.
Because the world of grants and government funding changes rapidly, the authors have made major revisions, to keep it as current and useful as possible. The Fourth Edition retains the same easy readability of previous editions, and has the latest updates of telephone numbers, addresses and web sites, as well as including some new resources. Two new chapters have been added: Chapter 7, "Components of a Foundation Proposal" and Chapter 9, "Helpful Hints From Grantwriting Professionals." The reader will find these chapters very helpful for exploring and writing foundation grant proposals and for the tried and true tips that are presented. Another new feature of this edition is an index of terms used throughout the book.
This book will show you how to find people and organizations with money. It will teach you how to target proposals most effectively, and how to jump through the hoops of various agencies to get the funding you need.

Reviews / Votes
"Finding Funding succeeds as the most coherent, instructive volume of its kind. It is highly recommended for school system leaders, especially grants administrators, new project coordinators, and grantwriters." -- Philip A. Nathan "The basics of grantwriting from start to finish, including locating funding, internet choices, and project management, are packed into a reference that is filled with advice from grantwriting professionals. Plenty of examples of successful funding efforts are included throughout, from sample forms to analysis of the critical components of a proposal. Highly recommended." * The Midwest Book Review *More details
