Critic reviews

"The book's easy-to-use format, thorough approach, and clear and experienced advice make it seem as if Browning is providing a one-on-one tutorial." (Arlene Krebs, President, New Orbit Communications)

Lots of resourceful information

This book provides aplenty of insight on obtaining grants for a beginner like myself or someone who is interested in learning about establishing a business. I have made lots of notes and will be reaching out to the established outlined by the authors. Thanks for breaking down the details and making sense of initiating a grant.

to the point information!

I feel like all of my questions were answered. I like information that gets to the point and cuts out the fluff

It's Good...Is there a newer one?

Great, useful, straight to the point info. Author even includes his personal process at the end as well as ways that he customizes. Had some old references, describes issues/hangups not relevant for 2021. Would love to see if there is a newer version but this is good enough to start.

I liked this book. I recommend it.

I have no background in writing grants. Zero. Zilch.
After listening to this, book 4 or 5 times, sometimes I’m slow to ingest new information, I actually feel somewhat comfortable with some of the major tenets of grant writing. I think I grasp the gist of it. I have yet to go explore any of the many websites mentioned in the book, for example, grants.gov and about 30 to 40 others, I wasn’t counting. That’s the next step. I plan on reading this book again.

Great insight into grant writing.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to write grants. It focus is more on nonprofits but is great info.

Informative and Informational

I found this book to be informative. Although there there are other up to date books in print format none are available on Audible. this book provided tons of examples and was easy to follow.

Great! Very Informative.

A must read for any nonprofit executive. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Beverly and Brett for your great work.

Why the audiobook is much shorter than the book?

This does not make sense. The audiobook should be as long as the book. Will it be extended?

redundant no info

the entire book just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again for different types of requests
