Letter of Inquiry process

We encourage Letters of Inquiry from non-traditional, innovative organizations who are looking to create real change.

Organizations must have an annual operating budget of less than $500,000 for at least two of the last four fiscal years to be eligible.

At The RDLF, Letters of Inquiry are seen as an introduction to an organization. Upon submission of your LOI, you should hear back within six months. If your inquiry is not of interest to us, you receive a standardized rejection email – we do not have the capacity to offer feedback. If our board is interested in pursuing your LOI, you will hear directly from one of our program officers to schedule an in-depth meeting.

Before submitting an LOI, please visit Our Approach to familiarize yourself with our funding guidelines and program areas as well as the Grants Awarded page to determine if you will be a good fit for the Reva and David Logan Foundation.

To complete the LOI, you will fill out a short form explaining your organization, and the project or reason you are seeking a grant. Click here to see the current questions on the LOI Application. Do not submit LOIs to the foundation outside of the grantee portal. They will not be considered and you will be redirected to apply through our portal.

As you will be contacted via email when your LOI has been considered; we recommend adding administrator@grantinterface.com to your address book to ensure that e-mails sent by the Foundation reach your inbox.

There are no deadlines to apply, but upon submission a decision can take up to 8 to 12 weeks.
