Letter of Inquiry Review Process

The Foundation will review each letter submitted via this Web site. You will receive a response, either by e-mail or letter, indicating The Foundation's level of interest in receiving a full proposal. The decision to accept or reject a Letter of Inquiry is final. 

Consideration may be given to Letters of Inquiry - for shortened review and approval processes - due to emergent or critical needs.

If a proposal is sought by The Foundation, you will be contacted by e-mail with proposal requirements.
