Grantwriting Beyond the Basics
Book 1: Proven Strategies Professionals Use to Make Their Proposals Work
Several good basic grantwriting books are available today, but few are written with the experienced grantwriter in mind.
Proven Strategies is the first in the forthcoming series Grantwriting Beyond the Basics, being designed to inspire grantwriters to take your grant development strategies to the next level.
