Letter of Intent 2025

Community Impact Grant Program

The Letter of Intent (LOI) is the first in a two step grant-making process used by the Cape and Islands United Way.  The purpose of the LOI is to provide a brief snapshot of the program for which funding is being requested.

 

All applicants will receive a status update after the the LOIs are reviewed; you will be notified if your organization is invited to submit a full grant application in February.

HELPFUL TIPS / FAQS
  • Letters of Intent are due by January 22, 2025

  • LOIs are reviewed by community volunteers who may or may not have prior knowledge of the applicant or the program. Please write the LOI so that anyone will have an understanding of the proposed program

  • The written answers have a mandatory 100-word maximum length.​

  • Be clear and concise as you make the case for funding the proposed program.

  • Your application will not be complete without answering ALL required questions.

  • This application is lengthy and responses in the form cannot be saved for later completion. We strongly recommend drafting your responses in a separate document first and only completing this form when the entire application is ready for submission.

 

Before you develop your LOI, we strongly urge you to review the expectations described in the following instructions.​
