Books are hard to read when drunk.:

While my old job required me to be up to date regarding the procurement of federal funds, my new job (the one where I sit on the couch all day and while my wife belittles me for not being a provider) does not. That being said, I once saw a cat eat poop.

Money well spent:

I'd always thought my proposals were well written. But after reading Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals, I got a much better understanding of what grant reviewers are really looking for.

I must say that I've had more success getting much-needed funds for our community projects. It's easy to read, and makes a lot of sense.

Money well spent:

I'd always thought my proposals were pretty good. But after I read this book, and got the inside details on what grantors are really looking for, I had much better success in landing much-needed money for our projects.

It's really important these days to go the extra mile to get limited funds. And Winning Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals really made a difference.
