Grants and Fundraising

Whether you or your organization have a need to apply for a grant or want to undertake another form of fundraising, in The Everything Improve Your Writing Book you’ll learn there are certain rules that apply.

Defining Your Goals
Make a wish list. Grab a piece of paper and write down everything you’d like to see accomplished. If you’re working with a group, brainstorm all the ideas you can come up with. The sky’s the limit on this one-just keep writing down ideas, no matter how ludicrous or bizarre they seem. This is a great way for generating ideas. –from The Everything Improve Your Writing Book by Pamela Rice Hahn
