Grantees must understand that managing grants effectively is a critical step of the grantsmanship process. Improper management of grants can make it difficult to secure continuation or new funding from a grantor¬--or, in the worst case scenario--grantees may be asked to return grant funds due to mismanagement. As the only book of its kind, Effective Grants Management covers the entire grants management process which begins once an applicant has been awarded private or public funding. Ideal for courses in philanthropy and development or non-profit management programs, this book is also a useful reference for practitioners and consultants who work with organizations that pursue grant funding to support their missions. Key Features: Captures the managerial aspect of grants from a professional perspective, rather than just grant writing and grant proposals. Looks at many real-world examples of grants that were not managed effectively to give the reader a clear understanding of what can go wrong. Contains key terms, case studies, and useful sample forms and templates to enhance learning. (c) 2010 206 pages
