Letters of Request A letter of request is a formal document written to ask for funding from ECCF outside of our established grant cycles. These letters are used in meetings with donors, if applicable, and provide us with a strong understanding of our local nonprofits' needs. If your nonprofit has a funding need outside of ECCF's established grant cycles, 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 How the target audience/nonprofit will benefit if your proposal is funded The amount you’re requesting and timeline for spending it A clear breakdown of how grant dollars would be used Funds accepting Letters of Request include: Access Eau Claire Fund For a complete listing of ECCF funds, browse our family of funds page.
