In the revised second edition of the bestselling guide to grantseeking, author and activist Andy Robinson walks
you through the challenges of incorporating grants into a complete fundraising program, using grant proposals as
organizing plans, designing fundable projects, building proposals piece by piece, and fostering effective communication
with funders who support the activist community. This updated edition keeps pace with the changing times and contains
all new budgets and model proposals, interviews with funders from the grassroots community and timely information
about grantseeking on the Internet.
