FROM THE AUTHOR:

"The idea for the book came from working with a few communities experiencing difficult economic and social challenges. I knew it was not necessary to hire a long-term grant writer (me-for a good consultant’s sum) when there were people who, with guidance from a well-organized book, could do it themselves and gain from the success on a number of levels. I saw a need and wanted to provide clear, practical, step-by-step information that dispelled the 'higher mystery' myths about grant organization and writing. "

Individuals can also use the book and Griffiths worked on a number of applications with artists and writers.

This book has the potential to become a go-to for its unique personality. It's built upon premises that don’t become obsolete or change with government funding and that appeal to a wide audience. Optimism, sincerity, good budgeting, and organization (and saying thank you) all lead to more funding potential!
