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:
