[ATTW-L] Advice on grant writing textbooks

[Rice, Rich]

Karsh/Fox is good. I find ATTW's Mikelonis/Betsinger/Kampf still great. There's a need for an update to that book, and I'm working on that, actually. Please stay tuned. Happy to share my syllabus, too; please email me off-list at rich.rice at ttu.edu.

Hi Luke,

Teena's recommendations are good ones. I've used the Karsh and Fox book several times along with examples from Candid  (formerly the Foundation Center).

Prior to using it, I found the Foundation Center's Guide to Proposal Writing (last ed was 6th in 2012) offered good advice.  For examples, even if a bit old,  older books from the Foundation Center (Guide to Writing Proposals and After the Grant) also proved useful, particularly if some students are working in nonprofits or planning to do so.

Every time I've taught the course (since 2002, when I initiated it in our program), we've had community partners. They found the books spoke to their experiences and were easy to use in consultation with students.

I use “The only grant-writing book you will ever need” by Karsh and Fox. The information is very good and the text is easy to read. It was also available as an inclusive e-book in Canvas, so it was easy for students to access. It does not include examples or models, so it does need some additional resources.

Candid.org has examples at

Greetings Colleagues,



I was recently asked to teach our grant writing course for this upcoming summer. As some background, it is a masters-level course, but the students probably will not have prior grant writing experience. We will meet in person for six weeks. Enrollment typically includes students from our Master's in Writing and Rhetoric as well as from graduate degrees in other departments. We will also have community partners for the course, so the focus will be on grant writing for non-profits rather than academic research funding.



Unfortunately, I need to make a textbook decision by next week, so I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you have. Additionally, if anyone has course syllabi or other resources you would be willing to share, that would be tremendously helpful as I structure this course.



Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice!



All the best,

Luke
