Fulfilling the Promise of School Improvement
by Deborah Porter, Ph.D.

If you are going to write grants for your school, this is the one book you'll need to be successful.  Dr. Deborah Porter is one of the foremost grant writers in the United States.  She has a tremendous record for obtaining grants for schools.  In fact, Dr. Porter wins more than 90% of the grants for which she applies.

Successful School Grants will give you step-by-step instructions for writing with the same success that the author enjoys.  You not only get the technical aspects of grant writing, but also the thought process and the planning process that goes into success school grant writing.

Successful School Grants is unique in that this manual focuses only on school grants.  Most other grant writing books simply discuss grant writing in general.  While this is helpful, you just don't get the detail that you need for any one area like you do in a book devoted to this one purpose-----making sure you write successful school grant proposals.  You will be impressed with the focus, the non-technical language, and the clarity with which Dr. Porter guides you through the process.

Here's what others say about Dr. Deborah Porter and SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL GRANTS:

"Deb Porter is truly a visionary among grant writers and educators.  She has written concise and accurate advice for education grantseekers.  I truly appreciate her emphasis on conducting a needs assessment first.  This book should be read by every teacher and faculty member who sparks magical ideas with no plan for moving forward.  As a grant writing professional and educator, I know how easy it is to see a government grant announcement and say, 'Let's go for it!'  Deb shows the reader that you cannot put the cart before the horse.  Even experienced grantseekers can learn from Dr. Porter's knowledge and insight.  It is obvious that she uses this book to share her experience, knowledge, and heart."
- Bev Browning, MPA and author of Grant Writing for Dummies

"From the introduction alone, I'd buy the book!  You've clearly described the way grants are actually given out and the mentality that people have to be competitive.....lights went off in my head as to why I've been unsuccessful on many of my grant applications.
- Dr. Omar Lopez, Coordinator of State Support Services, the National Center 
   for Educational Accountabily

"In lean economic times, the importance of external financial support to education becomes increasingly important.  Support from such sources ensures that continuous progress is sustained on behalf teachers, students, and educational administration.  Without such resources, many steps of progress will revert to the mean and hard-earned advancements that took tremendous time and effort to obtain will have been lost.  I have seen Dr. Porter's success in helping schools get grants to support school improvement.  She works effectively with schools and helps them realize their dreams for children and communities."
- Cathy Collins Block, Coauthor of REASON TO READ, Member of the Board of Directors of International Reading Associations
