Product Description
This book is designed to help nonprofit organizations craft proposals for grants from foundations, companies, and government agencies.
Ellen Karsh, a writer and former director of the Mayor's Office of Grants Administration, in New York, and Arlen Sue Fox, associate executive director for development at Sunnyside Community Services, also in New York, significantly update this edition from 2005 by including interviews with grant makers about how the current economic crisis is affecting their giving and how grant seekers can improve their chances of garnering support.
The book includes a proposal checklist, a glossary of terms, sample grant forms, and a list of Web sites that provide information on grants offered by foundations, corporations, and the government.

The title of this book is very pretentious as is most of the text. If you are looking to develop an understanding of grants at the k-12 level or extramural programs for students k-12 or intermediate students, then this book may be of help. Others reviews suggest that this book it useful for all types of grant writing, which is far from the truth. Do not purchase this book if you are looking to refine your grant writing skills at the academic level. Although this book may of use for k-12 related programs, know that the material will be presented to you as if you were a third grader (note the title).
My favorite grant writing book December 31, 2009

As a new grant writer, I am really enjoying this book and it's my favorite thus far. I really loved the fact that it is current and talks about the economy downturn and how it affects potential funding. Another reason I like this is book is that it gave actual testimonies of funders and their likes/dislikes. Great book for grant writers!!!
 Very Useful November 4, 2009

Great book for understanding where to start when it comes to grant writing. I used it for a class and it taught me more than I ever thought existed about non-profits and grass root organizations and where to go for funding. I've lent it to a friend who is trying to get funding from the NEA...we'll see how it does.
