Summary of Ellen Karsh's The Only Grant-Writing Book You'll Ever Need

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Grants are hot right now, but they are also extremely misunderstood. People think that all you need to do to get grant money is to incorporate as a not-for-profit organization and wait for money to fall out of the sky. #2 The world of grants is not like the lottery. You have to be in it to win it, but you also have to represent yourself and your organization in the best possible light.
If you can't do that, then do not apply. #3 The US Department of Education has funded parent centers in schools for more than 20 years. These centers are supposed to be developed and run by parents, but the types of activities available to parents are chosen by the Department of Education. #4 There are three types of organizations: grassroots, small, and large. The kind of work you want to do and the size of your organization will determine where you should look for funding.
