  • Endorsement From Sharon S. Ball,
    Grants Coordinator and School/Youth Liaison,
    North Suburban Library System:     Proposal Planning & Writing is my favorite grant-seeking reference guidebook; my personal copy is dog-eared with colorful post-its marking my 'go-to' passages, especially the 'Time-Saver Tips,' that I share with library members. I have even dumpster dived to retrieve my copy when the cleaning crew accidentally threw it out. Now, there's a testimonial for you!
  • Endorsement From John R. Meurer, MD, MBA,
    Associate Professor and Chief of General Pediatrics Medical College of Wisconsin:     Proposal Planning & Writing contains secrets of success from grants experts who practice what they teach. It not only explains what and how to put together a winning proposal, but it also points out pitfalls to avoid. Whether you're writing to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation or the National Institutes of Health, these tips work.
  • Endorsement From Peter A. Lichtenberg, Ph.D., ABPP,
    Director of the Institute of Gerontology,
    Wayne State University:     This book has been so valuable to our organization that we bought a copy for every member of our Board. The concise and practical guidance offered by the book allows us to seek monies in an efficient and effective manner.
  • Endorsement From Cathy Frey,
    Assistant Director,
    The Wisconsin Partnership Program:     As a relatively young grant maker, we recognize that applicants are still 'trying to figure us out.' So, at our invitation, the Miners presented their grant writing tips at a special regional workshop we hosted for potential program applicants. The result: the overall quality of grant proposals we received increased dramatically, particularly from attendees.
  • Endorsement From Kim Casey,
    Marketing and Grant Writing,
    Sendero Group LLC:     With more funding decisions being made on the basis of half points, this book shows you how to make your grant application stand out from the competition.
  • Endorsement From David Midland,

  • Endorsement From Allen C. Harris,
    Director, Iowa Department for the Blind:     The Miners are national grant experts who have found a way to explain how to write project goals, objectives, methods and outcomes without grief!
  • Endorsement From Anthony M. Iacopino, D.M.D. Ph.D.,
    Dean, University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry:     The ideas in this book have worked extremely well for me in both the United States and now in Canada. In fact, many of the approaches and strategies are universal and I would feel confident applying them wherever I am.
  • Endorsement From Kevin J. Lee, President
    Loyola Academy of St. Louis:     Proposal Planning & Writing outlines rational methods for developing excellent proposals that stand out and get noticed. I have found it to be a valuable resource over the past nine years and frequently lend it my colleagues in the development field. Unfortunately, they never seem to return it.
  • Endorsement From Michael J. Brauer, Vice President,
    University Advancement Cardinal Stritch University:     Our Advancement team finds the approach this book takes toward the competitive world of grant-seeking to be refreshingly candid and pragmatic. It offers no guarantees, of course, but the authors do an exceptional job of scattering bread crumbs through the forest.
  • Endorsement From Karen Brock, MPH, Director,
    Safe Kids Connecticut,

  • Endorsement From Anonymous: Don't read this book! (That way there will be more grant money for me.)
Description: In a world of limited funding, grantseeking is extremely competitive. Grant applications fail and succeed for a number of reasons, and careful proposal planning and writing are critical to success. Now in its 4th edition, this standard guide helps grantseekers navigate the funding process in the Internet age. As in earlier editions, this book discusses funding from government, foundation, and corporate sponsors. Included are practical advice and examples on developing proposal ideas, identifying funding sources, creating systems and procedures to support grantseeking activities, developing procedural components, budget forecasting, submission procedures, and follow-up techniques. New to this edition, though, are more extensive information on family foundations; updated websites, including 25% more than in the last edition; more examples of successful proposals, including 9 sample letters complete with annotations; expanded instructions on evaluation and outcomes assessment, which are critical to successful applications; and guidance on project sustainability after grant termination, a factor crucial to securing funding. The volume also includes checklists and a bibliography.
