We know that many grant professionals read a wide range of genres for both pleasure, but also for inspiration related to their professional work. So I suppose I shouldn’t have been as surprised by the large number of responses my request for book recommendations in our recent newsletter garnered in responses.
I didn’t want to keep them all to myself, therefore, I present you with…
A summer reading list (or honestly, an any time reading list) for grant professionals, compiled by grant professionals.
*Note: While we link to these books via Amazon, we are not affiliates of Amazon and strongly encourage you to purchase your book(s) from local independent bookstores or to check them out through your local library.
