This book is a companion workbook for Grant Writing for Impact. This workbook was created because early readers asked for more. They wanted more examples, more checklists, and more guidance for planning and implementing the ideas and strategies found in the book. These tools made sense as a separate workbook, providing you with a place for developing your ideas and planning your program. The content follows the structure provided by the five strategies in Grant Writing for Impact: Envision, Establish, Engage, Execute, and Extend.

Author Peggy Downs shares her experience as a charter school leader and grant writer in this step-by-step system that takes you from vision to sustainable funding for your school. The tools and resources were created or borrowed and adapted for school leaders. In this book, you'll learn how to:

• Focus on the Mission with a Mission Audit
• Establish a Grants Committee
• Identify the Grant's Values and Priorities
• Develop a Funding Plan
• Analyze your Grants Program
• And Much More!
