Summary:

This book is designed to help small groups get started, continue to keep their foot in the door, and get some of their projects funded. I hope it will also help develop a broader range of funding strategies than used in the past - and better documented, better managed, and more successful projects.

Abstract:

This book is designed to help small groups get started, continue to keep their foot in the door, and get some of their projects funded. I hope it will also help develop a broader range of funding strategies than used in the past - and better documented, better managed, and more successful projects. What this book does for the novice fund raiser or grants writer is to provide a comprehensive introduction to a large variety of funding sources, from grass roots efforts to foundation, corporate and federal grant writing, as well as to tell the reader about the first steps, those of incorporating and obtaining a tax-exempt status.
