Fund-of-funds Books

This book presents an overview of all the processes of applying for a grant and receiving a grant. The book is intended for higher education institutions but is helpful for all agencies involved with grantsmanship. It is written in simple terms and is very clear and helpful for the advanced grantsman as well as the novice. It is a must for a quick and thorough reference!

I just got the book last night, but so far it is great. I know very little about investing, just that I wanted to know more about Mutual Funds before I try to pick one. It has a lot of facts but isn't dauntlingly dense. There are lots of charts, definitions in the margins as well as a full glosary and plenty of room in the margins for notes. I choose this book over the For Dummies book because I didn't want to read an extra 200 pages of stories.

An easy-to-read guide on how to research, prepare, and follow up on grant opportunities. Worth the money!

"The Goodriches" is a scholarly book about the impact of the Goodrich family's lives and the influence they exerted, not only locally, but nationally and internationally. Events chronicled in the book are clearly the work of extensive research. Sheds light on an important period of Indiana history. A must-read for fans of well told historical accounts!

Joins New Testament teachings and classic professional fund-raising methods to increase giving in your church.

This fascinating book was written by Jurate Rosales nee Statkute (a Lithuanian born author raised in Venezuela) and first published in the Spanish language in Caracas, Venezuela in 1998 and 1999. In a Venezuelan library Rosales had stumbled across a copy of the "Chronicle of Goths" written by Spanish King Alfonso the Wise in the 13th Century. Immediately she saw that the Chronicle contained a very old description of the history of the Baltic nations prior to their arrival in Spain in the Fifth Century. Rosales described her findings in two sold out editions commended by scholars of Spanish history. The author was urged to publish the work in English by Ed Tarvyd of Santa Monica College in California. The translation was done by Danute Rosales in Caracas and revised by Tarvyd in Santa Monica. A Lithuanian-American engineer, Alexander Jankunas, later offered to sponsor the English translation and donated funds to have it published by the Vydunas Youth Fund in Chicago. My mother,who was born in Lithuania, found out about the book in the Lithuanian language newspaper DRAUGAS and later in the English language magazine LITHUANIAN HERITAGE. She was so enthralled by it that she recommended to me that I read it. After finishing it today I can see why--the book is a REAL treasure and I would highly recommend it to both historian and linguist alike--not to mention the lay person of Baltic/Gothic descent!

This is a directory of about 250 progressive foundations, with contact information and descriptions of procedures and funding areas, indexed by areas of interest, state and size. Very valuable.

The Grant Writer's Guide is so helpful. Seven sample grants give teachers a clear picture of "what grant readers want". You will get energized to write a grant after using this book.

Joan Flanagan's The Grass Roots Fundraising Book is the best investment a small nonprofit can make. Full of solid, practical advice, it's helped thousands of grass roots groups take control of their futures by learning how to leap off the fundraising cliff and generate the resources they need.

I logged on today looking for a copy to give to a community group I'm working with, and had Amazon had it, it would have been the tenth or twelfth copy I've bought over the years since it was published. If you need it, keep looking. It's still out there.
