Grantsmanship: Program Planning & Proposal Writing
Barbara Floersch The Grantsmanship Center’s 1972 publication, Program Planning & Proposal Writing, established the accepted model that grantseekers use to develop proposals and funders use to develop application guidelines. That seminal publication written by Norton J. Kiritz and named the “grantseekers’ Bible” by the New York Times in 2006, was used in over 40 countries, published in four languages, and used by over 1 million people.
The new, 2015 book, Grantsmanship: Program Planning & Proposal Writing, distills insights Grantsmanship Center trainers have gained from over 125,000 nonprofit professionals and provides essential guidance that is clear and assessable. This book maintains the vision and voice of the original publication, but is vastly updated and expanded to cover everything today’s nonprofit professionals need to know to create effective programs and competitive grant proposals. It will set new grantseekers on the right track, and challenge experienced nonprofit professionals towards increased rigor in their work.
The new edition includes updates of the well-loved checklists from the original and also tackles new and pressing topics.
