Description
Whether you’re a first-time grant writer or a veteran fundraiser, putting together a grant proposal is a daunting task. Thankfully, this up-to-date insider’s guide shows you step-by-step how to deal with application forms, give prospective funding sources the specifics they’re looking for and get the money you need. Discover how to get the scoop on government grants, go for the gold with multiple grant requests, make the case for your grant request, use words that make funders say “yes” and recycle a rejected proposal.
While it may help to be a dummy when listening to this fact-filled audiobook, read with professional aplomb by Brett Barry, it's certainly not a requirement. Browning explains the ins and outs of grant writing, which appears to be similar to filing a huge tax return accompanied by a lot of persuasive and moving essays. Browning instructs clearly and plainly through Barry, and has the credentials to do so, having been instrumental in over $100,000,000 in funded grants herself. This is a surprisingly interesting listen, turning what can be an onerous task with huge potential rewards into an easy-to-implement series of steps. Be prepared to take plenty of notes as the smooth, calming voice of narrator Barry guides you. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
