Book Review

Guide to Government Grants Writing: Tools for Success

Billed as a "basic reference tool" on the book's back cover, Ms. Grayson provides a very concise overview of federal and state funding programs. Its short length is surprising given the author's perceptive coverage of some important points that could have been expanded. I found key questions in Chapter 4 that I've used to ground over-ambitious newbies to federal funding: (1) why should you be trusted with public dollars, and (2) what has your organization accomplished lately that demonstrates it can manage projects? Read this if you need an easily digestible overview of government grant programs.
