The Foundation Center's Guide to Proposal Writing;

The Guide outlines the entire proposal-writing process:

Pre-Proposal Planning Tips
Components of the Proposal
Guidance from Grantmakers

To illustrate key points, excerpts from successful grant proposals are inserted throughout the Guide. And a complete model proposal is included in the appendix. An updated bibliography features selected resources on proposal development, including web and print sources. A new chapter focuses on crafting an effective evaluation component, addressing the heightened interest in outcome-based assessment of funded projects.
