Publisher's summary

Discover the proven formula for winning grants through captivating proposals, straight from an expert’s playbook

Every now and then, nonprofits partner up with government agencies, foundations, and other such organizations to carry out projects—those with potential to change lives, improve scientific understanding, or for artistic works.

For you and your nonprofit, that means drafting a grant proposal, elaborating on your grand vision, and how you plan to make it a reality.

Sounds doable, right?

However, no matter how impressive your vision looks on paper, unless your proposal aligns with the goals of the organization you seek grants from, you’re bound to get rejected.

You might keep trying, slogging through proposal after proposal, but all it will do is lower your confidence, making it a struggle to sell your vision and win a grant.

But what if you could change that? The good news is, you too can learn this skill.

In fact, you’re only a few steps away from the secret to writing winning grants.

In Winning Grants, you will discover:

  • The Basics of Grants—from understanding what grants really are and how they work, to various types of grant proposals, it’s all covered
  • Nine self-assessment questions to help you decide whether to apply for a grant or not
  • Grant Writing 101—explore the 10-step process to writing an irresistible grant application (complete with samples and templates to get you started!)
  • Skill-Building DIY Tasks—engage in tons of activities to help sharpen your grant-writing skills
  • Practical tips and tricks to make your nonprofit stand out from the crowd

And much more.

So, are you ready to win grants for your nonprofits?

If you want to write winning proposals that instantly sell your nonprofit’s vision, then scroll up and buy it now.

Very informative and with real examples

Creating a non profit is never easy, but specifically, when you create a non profit the most heard question is "but how are you going to fund it?". This audiobook really releases all that stress, because it explains you step by step, ideas and things that you can start taking action on today to make it work. I like that it is really focused on the writing part - I am not a great writer and I loved all the examples and all the tips. I have started applying the tips and can't wait to see the results.

Excellent resource for writing grant proposals

Winning Grants is a thorough audiobook on how to write the best possible proposal to win the funding that you are trying to obtain. It explains grants, where to find them, and what funding agencies are looking for. Your organization's mission needs to be clear, you should have a detailed plan and budget. Your goals should be explicit with quantitative and qualitative results that you are trying to achieve. Basically, you don't have a chance of getting funding if you haven't clearly thought out your plan and requirements. Examples of wording that can go into your proposal are also provided.

Since there is so much competition for grants, you will need to present your proposal in the best possible way to stand out from the rest of the crowd. The audiobook gives advice on how to do this in addition to methods for promoting your organization. Lots of valuable information is provided that will surely result in a winning grant proposal!

Well done

Sample language is provided for each section of the proposal, from letter of intent to the project description.I like that it's an easy read and make a lot of information easy to digest with interest. I found this book to have a lot of things that I never even had thought to include when writing for a grant. My husband and I are hoping to be able to use this book as an ongoing resource when writing grants from different potential sponsors. I believe it's a game changer for those in the world of raising funds, fundraising, and grant writing.
