I have a huge library of Grant Seeking and Managing books. I purchased this one recently and was amazed...it's the BEST! I have since bought all of Cheryl Carter New and Jame Aaron Quick's Grant books. I now use them for every grant I put together. When I discuss the Grant world with the Non-Profits and Governments I work with I use the material found in their books almost exclusively. If you are new to the Grant world these are the first books you should purchase.
Grantseeker's Toolkit Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Grantseeker's Toolkit is a must read for novice as well as experienced grantwriters. Cheryl Carter New and James Aaron Quick have laid out, in easy to follow steps, the complete grantwriting process. They have generously shared their own specific techniques that begins with formulating ideas for fundable projects to the actual writing of grants and ultimately to finding appropriate funders. It is a realistic and throrough approach that teaches readers how to prepare proposals that meet the requirements of funding sources. Grantseeker's Toolkit is divided into parts. Part I covers the designing of fundable projects that includes the development and refining of ideas, grantseeking strategies and designing and organizing the projects. Part II covers finding suitable funders for projects. This section explains federal, state, foundation and corporate funders and their general proposal requirements. Part III includes the development of the final project, explaining how to meet the grantors guidelines and the actual writing of proposals. Part IV takes readers through each step of writing proposals. The procedure teaches readers how to write problem statements, determine the operation of the project, laying out budgets and also shows readers how to prepare the final package for submission. Grantseeker's Toolkit provides an all inclusive method to follow for grant writing and thoroughly prepares readers for completing successful proposals I am certain purchasers of this book will be quite satisfied and will refer to it often when writing future proposals.
This is an excellent tool for Principals.

As an elementary school principal I have found this book to be an effective tool to share with my faculty when we are seeking funding or writing grant proposals. I keep this resource handy on my book shelf to loan out to my staff throughout the school year. I have shared this information with our district personnel hoping they will schedule a seminar by the authors for our entire district.
Grantseekers will find this guide invaluable!

This powerful guide expanded my understanding of a "sure-fire" process to identify the right sources of grant funding, and then how to write for success! The book is written in a step-by-step format that, in itself, serves as a model of how to go about seeking and writing a grant request. Funding sources are identified; different approaches for requesting funds are presented; and guidance is stated in the clearest terms. I read the book, followed the guidelines, and was successful in writing a grant that has been funded. My experience can be yours!
wonderfully simplified approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book truly takes grantwriting and presents it as a step by step process. It answers questions before you need to ask them. It directs the grantwriter to information that so often times seems to be impossible to find. It saves so much time and the process that it presents is simple and concise and to the point. It's a wonderful book that lives up to it's title.
