In this second edition of his classic book, author and activist Andy Robinson offers grassroots organizations a step-by-step guide to grantseeking. His hands-on workbook walks readers through the challenges of incorporating grants into a complete fundraising program, using grant proposals as organizing plans, designing fundable projects, building proposals piece by piece, and fostering effective communication with funders from the activist community.

Featuring an eye-catching new cover, this classic guide is for those ready to commit time and energy to relieving suffering in the world. No two people are better qualified to help us along this path than Ram Dass, who has spent more than 25 years teaching and writing on the subject of living consciously, and Mirabi Bush, who succeeded him as chairperson of the Seva Foundation.

This newly updated edition offers individuals, organizations, and government agencies instant access to the latest information on funding sources for social service programs and economic development projects at the local level. Over 300 new entries have been added for 1999. Created from The Oryx GRANTS Database, the directory now features more than 2,500 funding opportunities.

Citizen groups, government agencies, non-profit groups, community foundations and trusts, and individuals can use this guide to access the most up-to-date information on money currently available from more than 2,700 funding sources, including over 450 new entries, and more than 100 funding Canadian programs and projects.

Funding for capital construction projects, health care programs, rural education and cultural outreach, service delivery progrms and general operating support for existing organizations are included.
