Step 1: Submit a Letter of Inquiry
The first step in the process is to submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) to us following our guidelines.
The LOI is a way for us to understand your work, and it can also serve as a basis for further discussion. We review LOIs twice a year, as outlined in Getting Started.
We will review your LOI, and if there is sufficient alignment with our mission and priorities, we will invite you to submit a full proposal for consideration by our board of trustees.
Please bear in mind that we are a small foundation with limited staff capacity. We regret that we cannot reply to inquiries outside of our stated funding priorities and geographic focus.
Please direct any questions to info@nebf.org.
