intended result of a set of pre-planned activities.)
(2)

(~1/2 page)
(3)
What do those public policies and/or practices look like now? (~1/2
page)
(4)
How will your proposed actions inform these public policies and/or
practices in the way you intend? (~1/2 page)
(5)
Why do you believe this project should be undertaken? (~1/2 page)
(6)
How much will it cost (see our budget format here).
Please
append to your Letter of Intent:

copy of your registered charity number issued by Canada Revenue
Agency

most recent annual report

must recent audited financial statement
Please
allow 4 weeks for us to respond to your Letter of Intent. The letter
of intent will be evaluated by the Foundation to assess its fit
with our mission and granting guidelines. In some cases, a more
detailed proposal may be invited. The format for full proposals
is available here.
