Each and every day, individuals and organizations throughout the nation are putting forth initiatives and endeavors which promise a brighter future for tomorrow. But how are these projects funded? Oftentimes, through the acquisition of grant funding. When building a project from the ground-up, one of the first questions that comes to mind is how to obtain the capital needed to transform your vision into a reality. Thankfully, due to generous donors, individuals, and foundations, funding is available to those who seek it out. But how do you craft a proposal which is certain to capture the attention and support of potential funders? Now, the New Jersey State Library is here to show you how.
