The LOI Application includes questions regarding the purpose, framework, approach, assumptions, and budget of your project.
Step 3: Submit your LOI online
You must complete the online LOI submission form and attach your completed LOI Application Form in order for the foundation to process your request. Please do not mail a duplicate hard copy after submitting your LOI online or send any additional attachments or information (videos, books, program materials, etc.)
Review Process
Once you've submitted your LOI, you will receive a confirmation that we have received it. Your LOI will be reviewed and you should generally receive a decision regarding whether it has been accepted within ten to twelve weeks of receipt of your application. Global Health program letters of inquiry are reviewed on a continuous basis throughout the year.
