What do the experts have to say?

A review of Getting Funded on CharityChannel's / We Review /


"Having taught proposal writing in both the classroom and workshops for over 20 years, I am delighted to see a new edition of this seminal work. I have always found Getting Funded to be the most complete resource in its field."
Martha Golensky
Professor
Grand Valley State University


"This book is an essential tool for both those who are experienced in the field of fund-raising as well as those who are beginning that journey. An invaluable 'how to' written by highly experienced professionals in the field. This book needs to be on every grant maker's desk."
Peter F. Donnelly
President and CEO
Corporate Council for the Arts/ArtsFund


"Getting Funded is a "must read" for anyone who seeks grant support. In these times when the needs and opportunities to serve are expanding rapidly in the broad field of nonprofit organizations, most funders seem to be narrowing their focus areas and priorities, or eliminating programs completely. This dilemma becomes even more exasperating as funders demand to know what specific outcomes will be achieved if they commit their precious resources.

The key to success in this complex process of seeking and grantmaking is a very well-written grant proposal.

This new edition of Getting Funded provides essential insights, identifies useful internet links, and outlines the disciplines necessary to help every nonprofit organization become effective in the never-ending pursuit of elusive grant support, whether from foundations, corporations or public governmental agencies."
