The Foundation Center's guide to winning proposals / by Collins, Sarah,1945-(CARDINAL)390732; Foundation Center.(CARDINAL)143045;
Features twenty complete grant proposals that have been funded by some of today's most influential grantmakers. Learn how to create your own winning proposals based on this selection of funded proposals for single year and multiyear grants. The variety presented in this volume includes examples of requests for general/operating support, special projects, construction, endowment, staff positions, seed money, and more. Each proposal is reprinted in its entirety, exactly as it was received by the funder. To represent a diversity of nonprofits and their programs, we've included proposals from large and small, new and established, and local and national organizations. Separate chapters feature letters of inquiry, budgets, and cover letteres, as well as vital supplementary documents needed to complete the proposal. This book offers extraordinary insight into what makes some proposals more successful than others by including candid commentary from the program officer or other funding decision maker who awarded each grant. These critiques point to the strengths (and weaknesses) of each proposal, providing important perspectives for new and experienced grant writers, alike.--Back cover
