The first step in the McGrath Family Foundation application process is to submit a short Letter of Inquiry. Letters are reviewed on a continuous basis, and may be submitted at any time during the year. All LOI are reviewed to determine if they fall within the the Foundation guidelines. Once a LOI is reviewed, organizations will either be declined or asked to submit a full proposal. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant proposals and all organizations must first complete the LOI process.
 

LOI Guidelines
The Foundation requests that an organization send a LOI that is no longer than three pages. The LOI should
include the following information:

• A brief background on your organization, including a mission statement, history of your organization, the size of staff, the population and geographic region served, and the type of services provided.

• A brief description of the activities for which you are requesting support, including the need/issues that will be addressed, an outline of objectives and anticipated outcomes and history of performance.

• The total amount of funding needed and the amount you intend to request from the Foundation. Please specify if you are requesting program support or general operating support.

• Contact information including an email address.
