Author Releases Grant Writing Workbook

The mystery of grant research and writing is now no longer a mystery. Heidi J. Kramer, previously from South Dakota, now living in Pueblo, Colorado, has released her new workbook, Write Winning Grants: A Grant Funder REVEALS Inside Secrets".

(PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- This practical workbook is filled with valuable information, detailed resources, numerous examples, hands-on worksheets, as well as revealing some tricks-of-the-trade and insider secrets. With cutbacks in government funding, the competition is now even greater in the private sector. You can increase your chances of success by learning what grant funders are looking for and the best times to approach them.

Heidi J. Kramer is a consultant and expert in writing, administrating, and awarding grants. Her 20-year history includes working on several non-profit Board of Directors and grant funding committees. In her position as director with a private foundation in Aberdeen, South Dakota, she reviewed grant requests, made recommendations for funding, guided grant writers to additional funding sources, and collaborated with other grant funders.

When asked why she wrote this workbook, Heidi responded that her main reason was to help people develop the needed skills to help fund their organization or charity. She stated, This workbook was developed through several years of research, training numerous individuals and teaching workshops on how to write, obtain and properly administer grants. Successful grant writing involves more than putting words on paper. There are ways to approach and develop relationships with funders that will increase your success in obtaining grants. Although there are several grant writing books and similar instruction books on the market, most lack the simple and clear information to guide grant writers through the entire process. Some books on the market and particularly some advertised on radio and TV are misleading and frustrating to new grant writers looking for direction".
