"Understanding
Nonprofit Finances and its predecessor Proven Strategies live
up to the promise of the Grantwriting Beyond the Basics series. I can't
wait for the third book on evaluation."

Principal, Nonprofit Navigators
Most of us
get into grantwriting through the program side of an organization, and
the budget aspect makes us cringe. This book shows us, simply and clearly,
how to create financial documents as compelling as our narrative text.
Wells' charts and sample budgets alone are worth the cover price, revealing
the secret handshake we've all been longing for.
Susan Howlett, Fundraising Consultant
Co-author of Getting Funded The Complete Guide to Writing Grant Proposals
"Understanding
Nonprofit Finances is a valuable and welcome resource for grant professionals.
Using clear examples and illustrations, Wells equips nonprofit professionals
with the technical knowledge to understand a proposed program's financial
impact on the entire organization. He makes the concepts easy to grasp
for even those with no knowledge of nonprofit finances. This book will
go on my shelf as a resource to make me a more knowledgeable and effective
grantwriting professional."

Praise for Grantwriting Beyond the Basics Book 1, Understanding Nonprofit Finances
"Proven
Strategies is well-written and simple to follow. It will help even
the most inexperienced grantwriter write a competitive grant. Applicants
to foundations who lack even the most rudimentary skills in preparing
a compelling proposal will benefit. Proven Strategies' basic yet
comprehensive step-by-step approach helps the grantwriter make a strategic
case for grant support."
Victor Merced, Program Officer
Meyer Memorial Trust
"There's
no fluff here, just sound, realistic, honest advice and how-tos for beginners
and veterans alike who are willing to work to succeed in this competitive
and challenging field. Proven Strategies is a refreshing new entry
in the growing field of books on grantseeking!"
