Grant Teams that Win Workbook
You can build a winning grant team! Smaller organizations, rural counties and other cooperative groups often have challenges in applying for grant funds….with no full time staff, they need creative ways to apply and win. They have to compete against others with greater experience and sometimes a professional grant staff. This book is designed for the local organization that wants to build with the people resources that are already at hand.
