 After the Grant: The Nonprofit's Guide to Good Stewardship will help you manage your grant to boost your chances for getting the next one!
You've secured the grant-that's just the beginning! Now you begin the multi-faceted journey of stewardship to build and maintain a lasting relationship with the funder. Expert fundraisers and foundation personnel share their critical insights on how to best manage, communicate, and report on your funded programs, and cement your relationship with funders. A "troubleshooting guide" includes advice from foundation executives on what to do when things go wrong. This newest guide from the Foundation Center is an invaluable and practical resource for anyone seeking funding from foundations.  The Foundation Center's Grantseeker's Guide to Winning Proposals, one of our most popular resources!
A collection of 35 actual proposals printed in their entirety. These led to grants for general operating support, program development, staff salaries, program evaluation, and more from international grantmakers, large regional funders, corporate donors, and family foundations. Each proposal is accompanied by a critique by the decision-maker who awarded the grant. Learn techniques that help you succeed.  The Foundation Center's Guide to Proposal Writing (5th Edition) - almost as good as a Grantwriting 101 course!
Author Jane Geever provides detailed instructions on preparing successful grant proposals. Incorporating the results of 40 interviews with grantmakers across the nation, the guide reveals their priorities in reviewing submissions and provides insight into what makes a winning proposal. The guide outlines the entire proposal-writing process: Pre-Proposal Planning Tips, Components of the Proposal, and Guidance from Grantmakers.  MPC's Directory of Maine Grantmakers is the premiere guide to the Maine philanthropic community.
The 7th edition of MPC's Directory of Maine Grantmakers contains up-to-date information on more than 400 grantmaking foundations, including: those based in Maine, those identifying Maine as a geographic priority, or those with a history of prior support to Maine nonprofits. Whether you are a grantmaker, work on behalf of a nonprofit organization, or provide professional support to our growing philanthropic community, we hope this directory will help you connect to valuable philanthropic resources. |
