Step 2: Eligibility Evaluation
Organizations seeking funding must first complete a brief online eligibility evaluation, If your organization meets the eligibility requirements, you will be directed to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI).
Due to the overwhelming response to past grant cycles, we limit the number of LOIs accepted to 150 submissions.
Step 3: Letter of Inquiry (LOI)
Eligible organizations will submit a short LOI in a brief Q&A format describing:
- Your organization
- The proposed project
- Intended use of funds
All LOIs are reviewed for alignment with The International Foundation’s geographic and programmatic priorities.
Step 4: Full Proposal
Organizations invited to continue in the process will receive access to the Grant Application Portal.
The full application requires more detailed information regarding the proposed program, anticipated impact, organizational capacity, and financial documentation.

Step 5: Review and Award Decisions
All completed applications are reviewed by The International Foundation’s Grants Committee and require final approval by the Board of Directors.
Please note: Only one proposal per organization may be submitted per grant cycle.
Organizations that previously received funding from The International Foundation must have fully closed their prior grant, including submission of all required reports before applying again.
