LOI is also known as a Letter of Inquiry, (a brief summary of your project)
Important:
This Letter of Inquiry process is for new program funding requests only. If you have received funding from United Way of Northwest Illinois in the past, you must complete the Community Impact RFP’s to be eligible for funding. The letter of inquiry does not guarantee funding.
A Letter of Inquiry is not a vague exploration of an idea. It is assumed that you have already thought through your proposed project (including a budget!) and are just presenting an abbreviated description.
A Letter of Inquiry will allow us to quickly assess if there is a good match between United Way of Northwest Illinois’ interests and the project. If it appears to be a good match, we will request a full proposal.
