First-Time Grantwriters Guide to Success

The book is very informative, easy to read, and the chapters aren't overwhelming! They are short but to the point!

Paid for itself in less than a month.

I had to write a grant in order to keep my job. I was clueless, and bought this book sight-unseen because of the title. I couldn't have been happier with the step-by-step format, easy examples and plain language. Anyone, even me, can write a grant with this book. I wrote the grant and got funded! The examples in the book are great. I wrote my grant to cover art supplies for my therapy work. Now that I know how easy it is to write a grant, I've got plans to write more and expand our program.
