Download or read book Writing to Win Federal Grants The Workbook written by Cheryl L. Kester and published by Charitychannel LLC. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing to Win Federal Grants - The Workbook was conceived when the coauthors, Cheryl L. Kester, CFRE, and Karen L. Cassidy, GPC, were writing their book, Writing to Win Federal Grants: A Must-Have for your Fundraising Toolbox. They simply had too many tools to share in the book, which was already bursting at the seams-and they didn't want it to overwhelm beginners. So this workbook was the perfect answer to sharing these valuable tools. Though this workbook was written as the companion to the book-and features cross-references to the book where the reader may want to go deeper-it also stands on its own. Checklists, forms, and templates that you can use make up Part One of this workbook. These are all tools the authors created or borrowed and continue to adapt when needed. Now they're yours to use! Tools such as checklists and forms fit on one or two pages so that you can photocopy them right out of this workbook, formatted in a convenient 8.5 x 11 inches. Part Two provides sample proposals, with helpful tips and advice from the authors. In her foreword, Teri S. Blandon, CFRE, GPC, vice president for institutional advancement at Global Communities and contributing author to You and Your Nonprofit, points out that it "not only gives you the tools, but it also tells you why you need them and how to use them." "Logic models," writes Blandon, "have left more than one grant professional quaking with fear. This workbook not only provides examples of different formats, but it also explains how to lead a group in brainstorming development of the logic model elements. I've seen logic models explained in other books, but this is the first time I've received training in how to help the program staff create the model." If you are new to seeking government grants, this workbook will help you become comfortable with putting together a winning proposal. If you are more experienced, the tools and resources in this workbook will help make your job easier and more efficient. Regardless of who you are and where you are in your career, you can take away practical tools to use for the proposal you are working on today. What's In This Workbook?

Download or read book Federal Grants written by Donna Parker and published by Nova Snova. This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 is intended for Congressional members and staff assisting grant seekers in districts and states and covers writing proposals for both government and private foundation grants. In preparation for writing a proposal, the chapter first discusses preliminary information gathering and preparation, developing ideas for the proposal, gathering community support, identifying funding resources, and seeking preliminary review of the proposal and support of relevant administrative officials. Members of Congress receive frequent requests from grant seekers needing funds for projects in districts and states. As reported in chapter 2, the congressional office should first determine its priorities regarding the appropriate assistance to give constituents, from providing information on grants programs to active advocacy of projects. Chapter 3 describes key sources of information on government and private funding, and outlines eligibility for federal grants. The subcommittee on intergovernmental affairs held a hearing to examine the management of Federal grant awards. Chapter 4 reports on the findings. Chapter 5 provides a brief overview of the federal governments authority to impose conditions on federal grant funding. It explains the constitutional basis of the federal governments power to condition funds, as well as the limits on this power that have been recognized in a long line of U.S. Supreme Court cases Chapter 6 provides information on current federal grants and loans that fund emergency communications, information on the application process, eligible communications activities, and other resources they can provide to constituents seeking federal grant and loan funding to support emergency communications projects. Chapter7 provides a historical synopsis of the evolving nature of the federal grants-in-aid system, focusing on the role Congress has played in defining the systems scope and nature. It begins with an overview of the contemporary federal grants-in-aid system and then examines its evolution over time, focusing on the internal and external factors that have influenced congressional decisions concerning the systems development. Chapter 8 discusses several questions that might be raised regarding the implementation of the executive order by federal grant-making agencies (also known as federal awarding agencies) and the impact on federal grant funding for designated sanctuary jurisdictions. Each year, Congress and the Administration provide funding for a variety of grant programs through the Department of Justice (DOJ). Chapter 9 provides an overview of congressional actions to fund DOJs grant programs through these accounts for FY2018.
