From the Author
Grantseeker's Toolkit provides a step-by-step process.This book is the result of over 25 years of grant writing and teaching "research." There are many good books about various parts of the grant seeking process, but we have never seen one that includes a whole, organized process to follow with steps for every part so the grant seeker has a comprehensive guide. The book includes information gained from talking to many, many funders, also, about what they want to see in a proposal. It is our greatest hope that our process will not only help folks write excellent grant proposals, but will help them effectively plan and solve problems to improve the overall quality of education, health care, government operation, mental health... whatever field they are in. Readers, please feel free to contact us at Polaris Grants Central. We love hearing about your projects.
