Many foundations, especially family foundations, do not have a formal application process and can seem out of reach. Join us to learn how to introduce your organization to new funders in a way that captures their attention.
Topics
- Is the funder a fit for your organization?
- When should you send a Letter of Introduction (LOI) vs. a full application, call, or some other outreach method.
- How to draft an LOI, best practices, helpful tips, things to avoid, tools to help with the writing.
- Next steps…you’ve submitted your LOI, so now what? Immediate and longer-term next steps to connect with program officers and decision-makers.
- Q&A
For: New fundraisers and those looking to freshen their LOIs.
