Well, Mr. Hollis, not everything one needs to know about grants. After brushing aside the Christian references in every chapter, I found OK advice about starting a non-profit organization, writing grants, and general fundraising. There are lots of references, a few templates, and over 114 pages listing potential funder contact info, of which a large portion is bound to be out-of-date. But my main gripe with the author is that he does not explain the importance of the distinction between grants and gifts (or contributions). This book is appropriate for some faith-based programs and services, but can’t stand alone as the “ultimate” grant guide. Sorry Mr. Hollis.
