Customer Reviews

Its a good book!

I do not understand why it is that when people find a book to be really good they give it 4 stars without explanation... Like in Waddy Thompson's review. I personally believe the authors did a great job and I would rather just say so without holding back... I would have liked to know why the 4 stars... what parts could have been better... Now that would have been helpful. Another good book to buy is How To Write A Grant Proposal by Cheryl New & James Quick... I have not been able to let go of this book. Even go browse thru it and you will see why... I hope they write more like this soon... It's overdue. I just now bought Waddy's book (Idiots Guide) and it seem decent so far.

Great Step by Step to a Budget that Makes Sense

I discovered this book when writing The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grant Writing and found it terrific for learning how to put together a program budget. Having done this for years and having taught others how to do it, I found their approach clear and to the point. The many examples are especially helpful.

Book delivers more than budgeting advice

In providing a much-needed context for the discussion of grant proposal budgets, the authors have actually created a step by step, straightforward plan to design a sound project. They begin with how a good project springs from a problem that your organization can solve. Then they walk you through defining the project's purpose, goals, and component steps.I am torn about this book, because I believe grant seekers should NOT be the ones to design programs; program staff ought to do that. However, I realize that in reality grants people often end up with this task, or can act as advisors and coaches to those going through the process. And in any case, we grant seekers need to understand the task of project design and how it relates to expressing a project in numbers and words when approaching a funder. The book goes on to focus on budgets, after the groundwork of planning has been expertly laid. The sections on budgets are very useful for anyone dealing with government proposals.So, while the book takes a stance I don't necessarily agree with - that the grant seeker is a project designer - I have rated it highly because it is sure to result in better planned projects for anyone who follows its advice.
