Grant Writing Resources
Posted by Jeff under Blog , Charity , Consulting , Grants & Grant Writing & Grantmaking , Non-Profit , Social Media , nonprofit[2] Comments
I’ve come across a few items that I might normally add to the site’s Links section, but since I haven’t actually developed that page yet, I’m going to create this post as a starting point. All of these are also on my public Del.icio.us bookmarks page (along with a bunch of other stuff that interests me). Without further ado:
I found that previous one on Pamela’s Grantwriting Blog. Excellent stuff.
Another blog I really enjoy is Grant Writing Confidential (which I’ve mentioned before).
I’m watching Common Advisor, and still debating, but I love the concept.
The Nonprofit Consultant Blog @ Goldstein Consulting – often helps me with my professional mindset.
There are more, and you can hit the feeds over at the right of the page if you are interested in some of the blogs that I follow closely (you probably already know those are there).
Be free,
Jeff

As far as resources for the actual grant writer, I’d also recommend Guidestar, an easy one, right? It’s always a good idea to look up how much foundations, etc., have given out to other organizations before making an ask.

You are absolutely right, and for development staff of ALL stripes! It’s funny you should mention them – I’m working on a blog about a Guidestar webinar I attended (I tweeted 123 characters about it last week, and it deserves more). Excellent presentation, excellent resources. Here in Middle Tennesse, we have a local version – http://www.GivingMatters.com. It’s hosted by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, and they are also an awesome bunch!
