Program Development, Grantwriting, and Implementation: From Advocacy to Outcomes provides readers with a contemporary guide to program development fundamentals and implementation. The text explains the full program planning process and outlines the roles that need to be filled. It also posits that advocacy is the foundation for modern program planning in the United States, especially in the wake of new civil rights movements, calls for anti-racist practices, disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and more.

Dedicated chapters cover assessing community strengths, program evaluation, budgeting, fund development, marketing, advocacy, and finding joy in the work. Throughout, Spotlight on Diversity, Difficulties and Joys, and Lessons from the Pandemic sections draw connections between key concepts and real-life challenges, opportunities, and events. A case study from ACH Child and Family Services in Fort Worth provides readers with a practical example of a successful grant and its application.

Designed to equip readers with the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need to develop programs that confront the problems in our society, Program Development, Grantwriting, and Implementation is an ideal resource for students and professionals in human services.
