Invaluable to the small nonprofit organization
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book should prove invaluable to the small nonprofit organization without development staff. Its clear and logical steps are easy to follow and non-intimidating for the uninitiated. In my practice as a consultant to small nonprofit organizations, I found that the three areas most often not understood are: building relationships with funders, clearly setting and articulating outcomes and objectives; and providing a rationale why this particular nonprofit organization is uniquely suitable for providing this particular service or goods. Carlson's book provides instructions to help an organization address these three areas in a simple straightforward way.
Straightforward - great for beginners and experts alike

I have been writing grant proposals since 1986. We can all use pointers and this book has tools for everyone. I use it to get over a writer's block or find a new way to present information. I have also used it to teach a Proposal Writing class. The students found it very useful for beginners. There are so many books on this subject and I find this to be one of the most useful and a great value.
One of the best books of it's kind
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this book well written, concise, and full of excellent information. The workbook format guides the reader to elaborate and define their proposal ideas. It also guides the reader to identify the important concepts that will link the critical sections of the proposal narrative. Well done! I plan on recommending this book highly.
Concise yet detailed, recommended
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book packs the punch in 128 pages. After browsing the Web for many, many, many hours finding this book was a pleasant surprise. The key strength of this book is that it does not drag on a lengthy discussion on finding sources of funding for a long time---many of us in Academia already know who we expect to get funded through! If what you're looking for is detailed guidance on actually shaping the research grant proposal (something I'd never done before), look no further. This book is very well written, to the point, and exemplifies good, concise writing. highly recommended!
Winning Grants is a real winner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have used Carlson's book as a required textbook in a program funding and grant writing course I have taught for the last two years. Both my students and I find Carlson's book to the point, comprehensive yet concise, and well organized (gee...rather like a grant proposal). I particularly like the sample proposal in Section C. My only real concern is that Carlson does not spend much time on writing Letters of Intent. In my experience, more and more foundations are requiring this prior to accepting a long proposal. Overall, though, an excellent book.
