Every grant writer has experienced it: you submit a proposal you believe in, and you wait. What you're hoping for, whether you know it or not, is that a reviewer will read your work and think:
Of course that makes sense. Of course I want to fund this.
That moment isn't magic. It isn't luck. It's the result of a proposal that balances logic and heart, grounded in evidence and shaped by hope for a better future. It's craft. And it's learnable.
The "Of Course" Factor is a comprehensive guide to meaningful grant writing for practitioners and organizations who want to do more than secure funding. You want to expand impact. You want good ideas and essential services to reach more people. You want to write with purpose, not just proficiency. It covers the full arc of grant writing, from the history of philanthropy to the final attachment in a submitted proposal. With a glossary, index, and resources for further learning, it works as both a professional reference and a course text.
Whether you're writing your first grant or your five hundredth, and whether you encounter this book in a classroom or on your own desk, this is the guide you'll return to throughout your career.
Specifications:
Designed to function as a professional reference you return to throughout your career. 340 pages, 6 x 9 inches, white paper, and black-and-white interior.
IMPORTANT: Signed copies ship in late October. Please specify the name you want the book signed to during checkout when indicated.
