Winning
Strategies for Developing Grant Proposals "As
the competition for federal and private sector grant
dollars grows ever more intense, it becomes
increasingly important for grantseekers to present
potential funders with a persuasive, thorough and
well-written grant proposal. Whether you are
seeking support for a community-based adult literacy
program, an environmental restoration project or a
shelter for the homeless, Winning Strategies for
Developing Grant Proposals is designed to help
you increase your chances of writing a successful
grant application.
"This 90-page
book will take you step by step through the
grantseeking process, offering advice and
information from grantseeking experts on topics such
as researching potential funders, writing a project
narrative and approaching federal and private sector
grantmakers. To give you an idea of what works in
the field of grantseeking, Winning Strategies for
Developing Grant Proposals also includes samples
of actual award-winning proposals that were
submitted to federal and private funders. In another
chapter of the book, you will discover why some
proposals fail and learn about some of the most
common mistakes made by grantseekers.
"In the book
you will also find a checklist of Do's and Don'ts
that can be a handy reference when you are writing a
grant proposal. Also included are lists of resources
that can help you find out more information about
federal agencies, corporate and foundation
grantmakers, and current grant opportunities...."

Start
with Grantsnet's Roadmap
Developing and Writing Grant Proposals "A
successful grant proposal is one that is
well-prepared, thoughtfully planned, and concisely
packaged. The potential applicant should become
familiar with all of the pertinent program criteria
related to the Catalog program from which assistance
is sought. Refer to the information contact person
listed in the Catalog program description before
developing a proposal to obtain information such as
whether funding is available, when applicable
deadlines occur, and the process used by the grantor
agency for accepting applications. Applicants should
remember that the basic requirements, application
forms, information and procedures vary with the
Federal agency making the grant award.
"Individuals
without prior grant proposal writing experience may
find it useful to attend a grantsmanship workshop...."

Catalog
of Federal Domestic
Assistance is a Great Starting Point for
Federal Funding
"The
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
has approximately 300 grant programs, most
of which are administered in a decentralized
manner by several agencies. HHS does not
have a single publication that describes all
HHS grant programs. Instead, we use the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).
The Catalog, compiled and maintained by the
General Services Administration (GSA),
profiles all Federal grant programs,
including HHS programs and lists a specific
contact for obtaining additional information
and application forms. It also includes a
helpful section on writing grant
applications. You should consult the CFDA to
find the Federal programs of interest to
your organization.
"Government-wide summary of financial and non-financial
Federal programs, projects, services, and activities
that provide assistance or benefits to the American
public administered by departments and
establishments of the Federal Government."
