Letter of Inquiry

We recognize the intensity of effort required to prepare a complete grant proposal.  Potential applicants are encouraged to submit a brief letter of inquiry (LOI) to ascertain the Foundation's interest prior to submitting a full proposal. 

The letter should include a brief summary of your organization and project (only 1-2 pages)  and an approximate project budget.  This should be sent to the Foundation at least six weeks before the deadline to allow time for consultation with a program officer prior to the proposal deadline.  (Proposal deadlines are March 1 and September 15 for the Spring and Fall funding cycles, respectively.)

Letters should be addressed to Renate Rennie, Chairman and President, and can be mailed in hard copy or sent by email to tinker@tinker.org.
