The Complete Guide to Writing Effective & Award-Winning Grants: Step-by-Step Instructions—With Companion CD-ROM Every day federal, state, and local government as well as other organizations including corporations and foundations give out more than a MILLION DOLLARS IN FREE GRANT MONEY. A grant is essentially a gift. It goes to an organization, municipality, business, or individual to enable them to continue conducting their activities or research. You or your organization may be eligible for millions of dollars in free grant money. Grant money does not have to be returned or paid back. Unfortunately, many grants are not awarded because of improper filing procedures, and or poorly written proposals, and so literally millions of dollars go unclaimed every year. Writing a good grant proposal is not easy. Grants are competitive and have strict rules for application. This new book is a complete systematic course with easy to follow instructions in writing an award-winning grant. You will learn from start to finish how to write a grant proposal. The book comes with examples of fully completed proposals on the easy-to-use companion CD-ROM that also contains templates in Word ™ for easy customizing and printing.
