LOI Submission Information:

US applicants must be classified as a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service or have a fiscal sponsor. 

Foreign applicants should note that we make direct grants abroad (i.e. without fiscal sponsorship by a US-based 501(c)(3)organization) through a Donor Advised Fund, which includes additional due diligence and other requirements.

Please note that CS Fund and Warsh-Mott Legacy consider grant proposals collectively, and it is not necessary to apply to each entity separately.

We do not provide support to individuals, endowments, or direct lobbying activities.

Letters of inquiry should be no more than three pages in length and contain the following information:

• A contact person’s name, title, mailing address, telephone, and e-mail address

• Basic information about the organization, including a brief mission statement and an overview of current activities

• A description of the organization’s approach to the specific problem being addressed and planned activities for the following year

• A line item budget of projected expenses for the organization and project, if applicable

• A list of secured and potential funding sources (grants received, proposals pending, planned submissions, earned income, etc.)

Please send LOIs to [email protected]. There are no deadlines for letters of inquiry – they are accepted throughout the year and will be acknowledged as soon as possible.
