When applying for a grant with a foundation, the applicant must write a letter of intent as the first step in the application process. These letters can be presented to a foundation by use of the USPS, email, or through an application link on the foundation’s website.
After review, if the foundation likes the proposal the applicant will receive an invite to present a full proposal for their project. Prior to writing the letter of intent, applicants should have their project well planned with a precise budgetary amount determined.
