Good Book, Bad Timing

This is probably a good book. It does offer a lot of insight into self-reflection for public presentation & the entire grant(ing) process. Unfortunately, early on the book points out that grants are tied wholly to the stock market. As that's tanked recently ( & will probably continue to suffer through at LEAST this year,) it seems I bought this book at precisely the worst moment in history. Hopefully it will be more helpful once the economy turns around...someday.

Guide to Getting Arts Grants - The First Review

I bought this book because of its title. Other books on the market discussed getting grants in general, and it was difficult to find one that focused solely on ART funding. I liked the fact that the writer has been active in the grant field for three decades. The information in the text proved the author's knowledge of the field. The basics alone are helpful, including such questions as: . why and how giving-organizations exist, and how they think; . what types exist and which one is best for a particular entity to seek; . whom firms fund and why; . how to get grants and the application process; . how to find funding opportunities, and much more. "The Guide to Getting Arts Grants" is a true Insider's Guide to creative funding.
