Non-Profit Guru Releases New Business Technical Book Titled: GRANT Me The Money! The Practical Guide To Successful Grant Writing Practice.

Fayetteville, NC - 14 January, 2002 -- The most obvious challenge facing non-profit organizations today is

to secure adequate funding to meet their goals and maintain their existence.    However, successful fundraising

events and campaigns are just a flash in the pan unless an organization has a clear idea of programs, legislation

and resources available to ensure their long-term viability. With her first book, Grant Me the Money!

Vanessa S. O'Neal offers practical guidance and expertise to non-profit and civic groups seeking to establish a

sound fundraising structure that will allow them to serve their causes on a lasting basis.

Grant Me the Money! The Practical Guide to Successful Grant Writing Practice is the first in a series of guidebooks

designed to promote the success of non-profit organizations. O'Neal's motto, "Development is like nourishment:

the world is deficient without it," reflects her insight and belief that it's better to teach a person to fish than to give

him or her a fish dinner. While she has participated in and led successful fundraising events and campaigns for

non-profit and civic organizations throughout her academic and professional life, O'Neal has found her true calling

as a workshop leader, author, and CEO of In-Tegral Executive Search and Consulting Firm, Inc., an organizational

development firm that helps non-profit and for-profit organizations to overcome development, funding and organizational

challenges and achieve their goals.

"I have seen a resurgence of small nonprofits closing left and right," O'Neal said early this year. One important cause

of these failures is that many non-profit groups do not understand the unique ingredients of the formal grant-writing process.

Grant Me the Money! explains the basics of organized grant writing, from an explanation of the terminology essential to

understanding the process, to a step-by-step guide to making proposals and securing funding. Even organizations that

plan to hire professional fundraisers and grantwriters can benefit from this basic explanation of the most important medium

of financial subsistence in the non-profit sector.
