Every great grant proposal begins the same way a great story does. Once upon a time, there was a problem worth solving, and a classroom full of reasons to fight for funding.

Using six practical storytelling moves, you will craft proposals that are compelling, classroom-rooted, and funded. The most powerful evidence you have is already in your room. Every grant proposal is a story waiting to be told.
