Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This pithy little book is a lifeline for anyone who has ever struggled to write a grant proposal. In clear, lucid prose, PW contributing editor Barbato demystifies a process most of us classify somewhere between daunting and incomprehensible. By the time you've finished reading, you'll believe you can do what he promises in the title; if you follow his user-friendly directions, you probably will. In 51 short chapters (two pages apiece), Barbato covers everything from why you need more than a good idea and how best to communicate with a particular funder. Some suggestions are obvious ("Find giving guidelines that resonate beautifully with your need. Then, you and the prospective donor will have, if not a bond, at least a strong interest in common"). Others are clearly the result of Barbato's experience as a veteran proposal writer and the author of five previous books. To get background information on a topic you're not familiar with, he suggests reading a young-adult novel in addition to surfing the Internet or checking encyclopedia articles. He also recommends waiting around if you're interviewing a source. "Let him stop you at the door as you're leaving," he writes. "I've found many experts at their lucid best just at that final moment in the interview. They want to make sure you understand." For anyone facing the difficult task of writing a funding proposal, Barbato's advice is sound, clear and to the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of proposal tips I've read, Jul 1 2004
By A Customer
I read Joseph Barbato's earlier book, Writing for a Good Cause,which I liked, and picked up this new one on How to Write Knockout Proposals. The blurbs on the book from fundraising experts like Jerold Panas and others were great. Panas was right: "Makes every other book on the subject obsolete." I especially like the fact this is authoritative information in the form of a fast read. Most of us don't have time to read longwinded books about fundraising. Barbato offers dozens of practical tips that reflect his long career as a top writer for NYU and the Nature Conservancy in major capital campaigns. I can't imagine anyone involved in proposal writing who would not benefit from this new book.
