Ridings, president and CEO, Council on Foundations) Foundation program officers inhabit a mysterious world that grantseekers strain constantly to understand. Joel Orosz has finally given us a glimpse into a world that may not be as strange and distant as we thought. (Robert K. Goodwin, president and CEO, Points of Light Foundation) It is amazing that a book like this had not been written until now, for it has certainly been much needed. Grantmakers and grantseekers will now have a valuable resource--written by a seasoned, effective grantmaker--that will make their work easier and may well contribute to the improvement of relations between them.
