The Grant Writing and Funding Coach Target and Acquire the Funds You Need

The Grant Writing and Funding Coach is a framework for you to present your project in a clear and confident style, establish a rapport with funders and succeed with your proposal. It reveals how individuals, non-profits, local governments, and community organizations build bridges with funders. In this small but powerful book, you’ll find short narrative and budget summaries for your review and checklists for staying organized while you’re going through the application process. Both traditional and non-traditional methods of funding are explored by an experienced entrepreneur and community leader. Griffiths helps readers find, apply for, and get grants. She also looks at various forms of crowd-funding and walks you through a crowdfunding campaign, as well as online auctions and other innovative ways of funding projects and organizations. The message is simple — believe in your project and funders will too!
