Letter of Inquiry

While the Mott Foundation believes it’s important to maintain flexibility in our grantmaking, applicants should understand that funding for unsolicited proposals is limited. To ensure that any inquiries we receive are answered in a timely way, we ask you to please use the following letter of inquiry (LOI) form.

We encourage you to review information about our programs and what we do and do not fund in each specific program area. Your request will be forwarded to and reviewed by Foundation staff, and you should receive a reply within 90 days.

Thank you for your interest in the Foundation and our programs.

Project Description

Please describe your project, emphasizing why it’s needed, whom it will serve, and what will be accomplished during a specific period of time. Be sure to tell us how your project fits with the Foundation's strategies and/or programs. Please limit your description to 6,500 characters (including spaces) or less (approximately 1.5 pages). If you find you are unexpectedly running over the character count when pasting text from Word, try first pasting the text into a plain text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac) and then pasting it here. This will remove most, if not all, of Microsoft formatting and special characters.
