Getting Funded is also a useful reference and text for teachers instructing students on grant funding, project planning, and proposal writing.

Getting Funded has been tested and refined in 16 years of use (former title: Developing Skills in Proposal Writing), resulting in thousands of successful proposals and millions of dollars in funding.

This guide has been expanded to include information on funding trends, more information on funding sources and databases, and a broader range of examples and cases: both how and how not to go about grant writing.

The book covers not only project and operating grants, but also research and capital funding. It applies to science, the arts, health, education, social services, and many other fields. As an aid to building your proposal it offers dozens of critical checklists, sample formats, and models.

Getting Funded is the only book to treat proposal writing as a form of management planning. It contains more information on funding sources than any comparable book on the market including sections on unions and associations as well as government agencies, foundations, and corporations. It is the only book of its kind by an author who headed both a corporate contributions program and a foundation.
