How To Be GRANT READY: How To Create A 3-Ring Binder & Shared System In The Cloud

by Phil Johncock

How did I go from writing a $125,000 grant and 100 hours of work to a $420,000 grant and only 4 hours of work? That’s what this book is about! Something amazing happened to me after about 12 years of grant writing and a 92% success rate on all my grants. When I finished writing grant proposal #52, I looked down at my watch. I noticed that it had only taken me 4 hours to pull everything together for that proposal.

Somehow, I had gone from writing my first grant proposal in 100 hours to writing my last proposal for four times the amount of money in only four hours.

The secret is to be grant ready and have a system in place before an RFP (Request For Proposal) comes from a funder, before it ever gets announced.

Whether you need $400 or $4,000 or even $400,000, the grant readiness system in the form of 3-ring binder and shared folders in the cloud really works.
