Find the money you need for research and programs that count!
Grantwriting can be frustrating and exasperating, or it can be a fulfilling part of the school funding process. In this fifth edition of their bestseller, nationally-recognized experts Ernest W. Brewer and Charles M. Achilles put their $150 million in grantwriting experience to work for all educators.
An in-depth resource with an easy-to-understand format, Finding Funding brings the reader up-to-date with 120 newly researched Web sites to help grant seekers be more efficient and effective at writing successful government, foundation, and private grants. The authors focus on four main phases of grantwriting and administration: exploring grants, writing proposals, implementing programs and managing acquired funds, and closing out funded projects. Their winning formula can help you surpass the competition by:
- Finding people and organizations with money
- Targeting proposals effectively
- Meeting the requirements of funding agencies to obtain the funding you need
This comprehensive guide offers educators and administrators proven ideas, resources, and valuable data to use in finding grant money for schools, community agencies, districts, or even classrooms!

“This excellent book offers tips, uses examples, and is arranged logically.”
"From writing proposals to implementing programs, this in-depth survey is a 'must' not only for administrators and educators, but for any who locate grants to fund projects."
While this book contains some useful information and tips for students in other countries, the title does not reflect the main approach of the book, which is finding funding through federal educational grants in the US and which therefore has limited use in the UK.
This was put on my strongly suggested reading site...although not required. Great resource.
A useful how-to guide. Leads you without haste throughout the difficult road of being funded.
This book was so clear and concise and a part of the course required text. The students found the information helpful and "clear cut" about the next steps in proposal writing. Some asked about a disk, along with additional worksheets to support their learning.
So glad I adopted this text!
