About the Book

Maintaining that effective grant proposals tell a tale, this innovative program provides a step-by-step guide to key planning strategies that are essential to know before writing even begins. With practical advice and clear examples, this handbook demonstrates how storytelling techniques of Hollywood's top screenwriters can help program planners hone vague ideas into compelling concepts imbued with structure and real-life drama that are more likely to capture the attention of funding agencies. Using "Jon's Almost World Famous Seven Cs!"--a fun, easy-to-follow, seven-step blueprint to designing winning grant proposals--everyone from novices to professionals will better their thinking and, in the process, better their chances of winning competitive grants.

Semi-Finalist, General Business/Economics Annual Terry McAdam Book Award 2009 Bill Fisher Award "Soars light-years beyond the 'business as usual' approach to grant writing ...
