Grant Proposals: Planning for Positive Results - Amy Montgomery

Does “grant writing” sound like a daunting task? Are you or could you be a grant writer? A grant writer is a passionate person on a mission to solve a problem or an unmet need. Successful grant writers know that writing is the easy part, especially if you have someone who will edit your work. Your passion for your work is your number one tool to get funded. You know your target audience, what they need and how to help.
