Product Description
From Library Journal
Blum is a professional fund-raiser and the author of 15 books on fund-raising in the "Free Money" series (e.g., Free Money for Heart Disease and Cancer Care , LJ 6/1/92). This guide is a solid, basic overview of the grant-writing process, from assessing needs and researching a match to proposal writing and follow-up. The guide is aimed at individuals who wish to fund projects, either with or without nonprofit affiliations; however, it would be a useful primer for any novice grant seeker. Blum attempts to balance sensible advice with upbeat encouragement. She even supplies advice on self-motivation and efficient working procedures. Recommended for libraries with clients who need a do-it-yourself introduction to grants.

Great resource for beginning grantwriters,
By "alicethavis" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Getting a Grant: How to Turn Your Ideas Into Dollars (Paperback)
When I first became interested in grantwriting, I bought this book and committed it to memory. The book gave me a base of knowledge that I used to get my first fundraising job a few months later. I've now been doing grantwriting for five years, and I recommend this book all the time to newbies. The language is clear and straightforward -- and easy to grasp.

A Great Primer for How To Obtain Free Money,
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Getting a Grant: How to Turn Your Ideas Into Dollars (Paperback)
A great beginning resource for finding the sources behind all the "free" money that is out there. Blum has taken a great idea and invented a whole category. You'll have to do the heavy lifting, but she takes you through the steps and points you in the right direction. Smart person. Great source.
