Letter of Inquiry Form (LOI)
If you are a new applicant to GAR, or have been a previous applicant or grantee but have a new project or concept for the Foundation´s consideration, please complete the Letter of Inquiry before submitting a full application to the Foundation. Please check our Eligibility section before submitting your Letter of Inquiry. GAR Staff reviews Inquiries throughout each quarter, and we have established Letter of Inquiry deadlines in order to give time for potential applicants to receive feedback on their concept prior to investing significant time in a full application.
Capital/Equipment Funding Update: Please note that GAR Foundation continues to suspend its 2010 capital grants program. Capital grant applications include funds for equipment requests and other capital building/renovation purposes. The Foundation will not accept applications for these purposes until further notice. Please continue to check back here or with a GAR Foundation program officer to discuss any change to this policy.
