Rating: Summary: Non-Profit Handbook for Excellence Review: When approached to provide grant writing services, I thought I couldn't do it, then I found this book.After purchasing, I picked a day to study this book completely and found it wasn't needed. The best feature is the easy reference format, I could simply flip to what I needed and work from there. The web site listings, foundation break-downs and overall content got me on the right track. This book will be helpful only if you are seeking a grant for a non-profit. I searched elsewhere for information on sponsorships and other available funding. What is offered are the absolute basics for getting started on grant writing. Companies will not give your paper or proposal a second glance if you don't take the time to research their specific guidelines. Buy this book, do your homework and you just might get that grant. It's a far better investment than the internet rip-offs for thirty of more dollars that claim to tell you how to get a grant. From experience, I'll tell you now, there are no guarantees, each company decides, and this book will be a foot in the door.
