Product Description
From Library Journal
Since it was first published in 1984, Bauer's manual has become a standard in its field. In this new edition, he has updated the examples, added some new strategies, and expanded the information about online resources. Bauer offers many suggestions and tips (as well as encouragement) to help grantseekers become proactive. The first section does a good job of helping grantseekers see the grant proposal from the grantor's perspective. It also provides information on how to develop and document a proposal, write and refine it, and find the right venue for it. The second and third sections cover the process of identifying and applying for government and private grants. In addition to clarifying the differences between public and private funding, these sections detail the planning, research, and submission of grants, as well as how to follow up on them. The book includes tables, charts, and worksheets that summarize the information and help grantseekers focus their thinking. If a library can only purchase one book on developing grant proposals, this one should be at or very near the top of the list.AKathy Breeden, Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga Lib.

Review
David Bauer's "How To" Grants Manual has guided the step-by-step winning grants process of our faculty for the past six years. In that time, we have moved from about $1.5 million in external support to over $12 million. The process described in this book was a large factor in this increase. (James E. McLean )

When I was Dean of the School of Education and Human Services at Oakland University, we created a faculty fellows group with a faculty administrator and David Bauer as consultant. After about 18 months of using the processes outlined in The "How To" Grants Manual, external grant funding increased from approximately $500,000 to $1.2M in 2009. While external funding is an important measure, the real achievement was a change in the academic culture of the School. There was an increase in the number of grant applications as well as the number of faculty writing grants. The step by step system presented in the book provides faculty teams with a model that keeps them working together to accomplish the outcome—a new grant application!

This review is from: The How to Grants Manual: Successful Grantseeking Techniques for Obtaining Public and Private Grants (Hardcover)
This book is a tool that could be included in any grant writer's toolkit. Since it explains each aspect of grant writing, its easy to understand this very complex and evolving subject. The CD included with the book is further support to the listener and useful. I am quite impressed with the ability of the writer to communicate instructions that would otherwise be very confusing.

I was pleased when I discovered that it was available as an electronic download. It has made life so ,much simpler particularly as it doesnt weigh anything! :) As to the content, it is a textbook aimed at guiding one through the highly difficult and often convuluted world of non-profit grant writing. One aspect that I applaud the author is his attempt to simplify, and I don't mean dumb down, but simplify this confusing process. Now if only the grant making organizations would take the hint.
Listmania!
