Let’s be honest—grant writing feels like trying to crack a secret code while blindfolded. Grant Hunt claims to be your ultimate roadmap to securing business funding, complete with “proven templates” and “insider strategies.” But does it actually help you land grants, or is it just another recycled advice book?

Who’s This Really For?

Worth It If:

  • You’re new to grant writing and need a structured starting point
  • You’re applying to private foundations (not government RFPs)
  • You want specific phrases and formulas (not just theory)

Skip If:

  • You’re a seasoned grant writer looking for advanced tactics
  • You need help with corporate or government grants
  • You hate cheesy metaphors (seriously, the “hunting” bit is relentless)

Final Verdict

Is it the ultimate grant guide? No. But is it better than 80% of the vague, fluff-filled books out there? Surprisingly, yes.

Rating: 7/10 – Loses points for the cringe-worthy hunting theme but gains them for actual usable advice.


Pro Tip: Pair this with the Foundation Directory Online (free at most libraries) to find grants that actually fit your project.
