The Lufkin Family Foundation invites you to submit
A 500 word letter of inquiry to info [at] lufkinfamilyfoundation [dot] org. We are specifically looking for projects that offer creative solutions to environmental problems. Projects that are most likely to receive our attention will:
- Offer intelligent,
systemic solutions to environmental problems, national or international.
- Provide new ways of addressing
environmental issues.
- Be carefully thought out,
and present evidence of ability to succeed. No hare-brained schemes, please.
- Be at an early stage of
development where they can benefit from additional investment. This would be
comparable to an angel round of funding, for the venture capitalists out there.
- Be presented by solid, fiscally sound 501c3 organizations with a proven track record of success.
If your program is selected for further review we will invite you to submit a complete proposal at that time. This letter is simply to give us a sense of what you intend to do. We have limited funding, but are interested in working with you to convene funders dedicated to collaboratively supporting creative environmental solutions.
|
Your letter should include:
- Name of sponsoring organization, contact person
and contact information
- 501c3 number
- A description of the problem the
program will address
- An outline of the plan for the program,
including an implementation time line
- Supporting evidence of likelihood
of success – list of partners, previous successes, key individuals
involved, etc.
- Be limited to 500 words. We will
not review letters of inquiry over this length.
What you can expect from us:
We will review your proposal within 6 weeks.
You will only hear from us if your proposal is selected for further review. If
you do not hear from us within 6 weeks, please assume that your proposal was
not selected. We are a small family foundation without any staff, so please do
not contact us with follow-up inquiries. |
