Funded!

FUNDED! leads readers from knowing nothing about writing grants to having a complete grant proposal. Based on personal experience, years of teaching, and the expertise of dozens of professional nonprofit grant writers, students learn about writing grants by completing exercises at the end of each chapter, moving from finding funding opportunities to submitting the completed proposal. The book provides material necessary to understand the larger context of nonprofits in American society and covers every essential grant writing topic: finding funding, writing needs statements, finding or developing evidence-based programs, developing logic models, writing evaluation plans, describing implementation plans, budgeting, sustainability planning, and submission to the funder. FUNDED! is an invaluable resource that provides flexibility for instructors, students, and professionals to learn about grant writing in a variety of settings and formats.Author Richard Hoefer incorporates essential updates in every chapter; specific changes include incorporating social justice principles, significantly more emphasis on advocacy to ensure adequate funding opportunities, and integrating stakeholders into program planning.
