Our grantmaking process always begins with an online Letter of Inquiry (LOI). The process is the same for past grantees and new grant seekers. The LOI provides us with detailed information about your organization, program, and overall alignment with our goals. There are no deadlines for LOIs. We respond to all LOIs within 60 days.
