ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

T here are many people who helped make this book possible.

First, I would like to acknowledge the signiﬁcant contributions by Allison Eckelkamp,

a Syracuse University student who graduated with distinctive honors this spring. In

the midst of a demanding schedule, Allison compiled much of the research on giving

trends, research sources, and proposal components. Her contributions to The New

Philanthropy, Finding the Right Funders, and Writing the Proposal parts were invalu-

able. Allison’s enthusiasm for the project, quick mind, and natural curiosity helped

me to stay on track.

I would also like to thank Niki Phillips, my assistant, for her support throughout the

writing of this book. Her help in research, obtaining permission for and preparing

samples, proofing, editing, and layout was no small feat, and she handled it all with

professionalism and humor.

Many of my colleagues at Syracuse University are to be mentioned as well—Bill

Coplin and Arthur Brooks, professors at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and pub-

lic Affairs; Chris Yackel and John White of Communications; Kathy Pitts, Liz Dunn,

and Dave Robertson of Research; Trish Lowney from Sponsored Programs; the Cor-

porate and Foundation Relations staff (Ingrid, Alan, Joan, and Susan); and Brian

Sischo, Tom Harblin, and John Sellars. They are true professionals.

Corporate and foundation friends added an invaluable perspective to the book. I wish

to acknowledge Peggy Ogden of the Central New York Community Foundation, Roger

Nozaki of the GE Foundation, Tom Owens and Patrick Flaherty of Verizon Founda-

tion, Geri Mannion and Eleanor Lehman from the Carnegie Corporation of New

York, and Ronald McKinley of the National Network of Grant makers.

I’d also like to thank my agent, Grace Freedson, John Wiley & Sons’ Roxane Cerda,

Marcia Johnson, Tonya Cupp, and Tere Drenth, and Jon Denison, technical editor.

Lastly, but most importantly, thanks to my friends and family who kept me sane and

provided support throughout the process. To my children, Margaret, Samantha,

and Jake, who amaze me with their zest for life, their intelligence, and their kind-

ness, and to my husband, Jay, who supports me fully in everything I do, thank you.

And to Keith, Joni, and Jackson, thanks.

Sara Wason
