How to Submit Online Letter of Inquiry

The on-line Letter of Inquiry (LOI) provides a concise presentation of the proposed project, its intended outcomes and the applicant organization. The Foundation is generally able to consider only a fraction of the LOI’s it receives. For that reason, it is imperative that applicants give careful consideration to the information presented in the LOI and provide a clear, focused case for support.

 

All applicants will receive formal notification from the Foundation regarding the status of their grant request within two weeks following the LOI deadline. If your LOI is declined, the Foundation welcomes the opportunity to discuss its decision-making process and other possible opportunities for collaboration. Click the link above to access the on-line LOI form or to retrieve a pending application.
