Letter of Intent

Before writing a full proposal, please send us a letter of intent for our comment. Letters of Intent must answer the following questions:

(1) What is the goal of the project you are intending to do? (~1/2 page) (We understand a goal to be a specific, measurable, intended result of a set of pre-planned activities.)

(2) What public policies and/or practices will your project address? (~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:

  • a copy of your registered charity number issued by Canada Revenue Agency
  • your most recent annual report
  • your 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.
