After the Grant: The Nonprofit’s Guide to Good Stewardship
edited by Judith B. Margolin
A nonprofit organization’s work is far from done even after it has received a grant; it needs to acknowledge the receipt of the grant, track the progress of the project the grant supports, and, if appropriate, request a renewal of the grant.
Written by fund raisers and foundation staff members, this guide offers clear step-by-step instructions as to what nonprofit groups need to do to communicate well with grant makers, including specific roles of employees who work in data entry, finance, and public relations, and how to anticipate the questions grant makers will likely ask.
The guide also includes case studies of successful projects featuring interviews with both the grantee and the grant maker. An appendix devoted to troubleshooting potential pitfalls in the follow-up process and answers questions charities may have about it.
