Grantcraft

Grantcraft: The Practitioner’s Guide to Strategic Funding for Public Service, Healthcare, and the Nonprofit Sector is a practical, field-tested roadmap for professionals and graduate students navigating the world of competitive grant funding.

Written by a practitioner-scholar with over 30 years of experience in public administration, nonprofit leadership, and graduate instruction, Grantcraft blends real-world strategy with academic insight. Whether used in a university course or workplace setting, it equips readers to turn bold ideas into fundable, results-driven proposals.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all formula, Grantcraft walks through the entire grant lifecycle—needs assessment, funder alignment, logic models, budgets, persuasive writing, and post-award planning. Along the way, it emphasizes strategic thinking, ethical practice, and practical tools.

Included in the book:
• A grant feasibility checklist
• Templates for evaluation planning and budgeting
• Two full-length sample proposals
• A reader-friendly structure designed for modular learning

Ideal for city and county agencies, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and graduate programs in public affairs, Grantcraft is both a professional resource and an instructional text.

Whether you’re writing your first grant or leading a team, Grantcraft will help you think like a reviewer, write like an advocate, and lead projects that deliver lasting impact.
