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 as a tool to help support their work.
