A grant isn't luck. It's architecture. Every year, foundations in the United States alone award more than US$109 billion - and that is before a single dollar of government funding enters the picture. That money reaches the organizations that were built to receive it. Most are not. They chase deadlines instead of building a system. They treat funding as an event, when it is a discipline. The Grant Playbook(TM) is the complete body of knowledge for that discipline. Drawn from more than twenty years of executive practice, it replaces intuition with method: how funders actually think, how an organization becomes structurally fundable, and how to build a system that compounds - award after award, year after year. This is not a book about asking for grants. It is a book about building organizations that deserve them - and win them. Inside you will find: * The eight disciplines of grant funding, from the fundamentals to institutional transformation.
* How to measure your real readiness with the Grant Readiness Audit(TM) and close the gaps before you apply.
* How to design projects, budgets, and narratives a reviewer can follow, believe, and score high.
* How to execute an award with credibility - and not lose what you won.
* How to anticipate opportunities and integrate artificial intelligence across the entire grant lifecycle.
* More than 30 original frameworks, verifiable real cases, and regulation current to the 2024 Uniform Guidance revision. The eight parts: 1. Foundations - how the grant ecosystem works and how a funding body decides.
2. Grant readiness - becoming structurally fundable before you apply.
3. Search and analysis - finding the right opportunities and ruling out the rest with method.
4. Proposal design - need statement, objectives, indicators, budget, and project narrative.
5. Execution - internal control, risk, reporting, and the project management of an award.
6. Intelligence and systems - building a grants office and a long-term funding strategy.
7. Artificial intelligence - AI applied, with human oversight, at every stage.
8. Transformation - the 24-month roadmap and the global future of grant funding. Who it is for: directors and teams at nonprofits, universities, hospitals, and local governments; grant writers, fundraising and development professionals, and consultants; and any leader who wants to professionalize funding as a management discipline - on the level of project management or corporate finance. Readers also get free access to the Grant Readiness Audit(TM) Master Checklist: the twelve-pillar audit as a working spreadsheet, with 204 control points, recommended documentation and red flags. Published free by Fundora Institute(TM), no registration required. Twenty-six chapters and an epilogue. 583 pages. Eight parts, one architecture. From Fundora Institute(TM), dedicated to advancing the science of funding. Stop chasing deadlines. Start building the system.
