There are a lot of books out there on grant writing, but one essential you should have on your bookshelf if you’re responsible for fundraising and grant writing for your organization is Kim Klein’s Fundraising for Social Change. This book is now in its fifth edition so make sure you pick up the most recent version as she adds important content and resources with each new publishing. I bought mine online through Amazon.com from a used book vendor and it cost me about $12 plus shipping as opposed to about $30 new at a big box book store. It’s worth every penny – full of helpful and inspirational ideas and great resources. Kim Klein is a highly respected grant writer and generously shares her knowledge with her readers. This book is a MUST HAVE.
