Letters of Request

A letter of request is a formal document written to ask for funding from ECCF for a specific program or purchase. These letters are used in meetings with donors, if applicable, and provide ECCF with a strong understanding of what the needs of nonprofits in our community are. 

If your nonprofit has a funding need that’s relevant to a Fund's purpose, you can email a letter of request to [email protected] or mail a hard copy to our office. The letter of request should include:

• The date your letter was written
• Your organization’s name and mission
• A description of your funding needs and timeline
• How the target audience/nonprofit will benefit if your grant proposal is funded
• The amount you’re requesting and timeline for spending
• A clear breakdown of how grant dollars would be used

Funds accepting Letters of Request include:

• Access Eau Claire Fund
