How to Apply

In order to apply for project funding, applicants must first submit a brief Letter of Interest according to the Letter of Interest (LOI) Guidelines detailed below.
- Please use the following guidelines when developing the LOI.
- The LOI should be brief, on organizational letterhead, and be 1-2 pages in length.

Keep in mind you will have the opportunity to share more details about your program/project if a full proposal is requested.
