The Right Phrase for Every Situation…Every Time
These days, it's not enough to work for a good cause or worthy organization. If you want to receive funding from a corporation, community, foundation, or government institution, it all comes down to one thing: your proposal. With hundreds of ready-to-use “Perfect Phrases,” you'll quickly know the right words to use for the three major sections of every successful grant proposal:
- How to introduce yourself, your program, and your achievements
- How to describe your goals-and what funding will accomplish
- What you should include as your supporting documents
With this comprehensive, user-friendly approach to grant writing, you'll be able to tackle the various proposal formats, create a professional purpose statement, and back up your plan with solid data. Plus, you'll discover some insider secrets that will really get the attention you want-and the funding you need.

Perfect Phrases for Writing Grant Proposals is Perfect
12 May 2008
Format:Paperback
I recently took a job where one of my focuses is to seek out and write grants. I have had some experience but not to this magnitude. I was researching books to help make sure I met the criteria for the technical writing and ran across this book. It was great and gave me some ideas as to how to structure specific areas of my proposal. It was well worth the purchase price as far as I'm concerned and I know that I will use it again in the future.

Perfect Phrases
3 May 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is another great book by Dr. Beverly. She makes everything so easy for those just starting out their grant writing journey or for those who have been at it for a while and just need a litle push. As always, the book was informative, relevant, and a must have for your grant writing tools collection.

Not What I Anticipated
6 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
After a brief overview of the composition of a grant proposal, this book is almost entirely comprised of example paragraphs organized around one line directional statements. For example, broad instructions like "show funders how your program will work and make a difference in your community" are followed by six or so sample paragraphs, each showing how a different organization might answer. Plenty of phrases are printed in bold type and apparently the "perfect phrases" the author assumes proposal writers will want to copy and paste into their own proposals.
Personally, I was unimpressed with many of the samples which seemed less professional than I expected, and came off more as a shmoozy self-hype sales pitch than seems respectable from a non-profit organization. I suppose that someone without much writing experience could use this to get themselves started, copying and pasting together a proposal of their own out of the examples, but if you're looking for how-to's and actual skill improvement in grant proposal writing, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
