With more than 25 years experience in fundraising and nonprofit management, I am well prepared to assist your charity in increasing grant income. For largely volunteer groups, seminars in the basics of fundraising, research, and grant writing will prepare a number of people to go out and raise more money.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grant Writing, 3rd Edition
The third edition of my book on grant writing came out in July 2011. You can purchase it in paperback by clicking on the image below, or in various digital formats, including Kindle
In it I provide a personal perspective on each funding source (foundations, corporations, government agencies, and even individuals) and explain how to do the research that will give you the best chance of getting a grant, with, of course, a complete description of how to write one.
Special features that you might not find in other grant writing guides include a chapter just for individuals seeking grants and two chapters about freelance grant writing (including how to price your services). Internet resources have been updated and added.
Additional resources are available on IdiotsGuides.com
