Second , you send a letter of inquiry (LOI) to each foundation that seems like a good fit (or submit a full proposal if the foundation prefers). Fourth , you send a full proposal to any foundation that invites you to do so in response to your LOI. When you come across these foundations, send them an LOI. Follow-Up Matters Too!

INTROVERT ALERT!

Why then has the industry let “LOI” remain in use? Do you even know what LOI is short for? Confusion exists because LOI has three commonly referenced meanings. Let’s sort this out, LOI can be a Letter of Inquiry, a Letter of Introduction, or a Letter of Intent. Crafting the LOI is a great skill to master.
