Introduction

When I wrote the first edition of Grant Writing For Dummies in 2001, a lot of my grant professional colleagues thought I was giving away “our” secrets. However, I have never felt that way. I just wanted everyone who had an interest in finding grantfunding opportunities and writing grant proposals to have access to a handy reference tool filled with expert-driven insight and information. (If I didn’t know anything about this process, I would certainly look to a leading reference tool to teach me.) With each new edition of this book, I have worked diligently to provide fresh perspectives and updated information on grant writing. With over a million readers, I am humbled at how much this book has introduced potential grantwriters to the world of grants.

By using this book daily, you can achieve your highest goals, including winning almost everything you submit for funding or award consideration. You can even build your funding success rate. And, if you want to dive even further into grant writing with me, you may want to consider enrolling in one of my online classes or sponsoring one of my virtual grantwriting training sessions.
