Every day, individuals and organizations across the country launch initiatives and ventures that promise a better future for tomorrow. But how do these projects get funded? Often through raising grants. When building a project from scratch, the first question that comes to mind is how to raise the capital needed to make your vision a reality. Fortunately, thanks to generous donors, individuals and foundations, funding is available to those who seek it. But how do you craft a proposal that is sure to attract the attention and support of potential funders? The New Jersey State Library shows you how.
