LOI Tips

Be as clear and focuses as possible about how your organization and project would best use a grant of $60,000 to $100,000 to positively impact Nebraska.


Projects involving collaborative approaches to problem solving are encouraged and should originate with the organization serving as lead fiscal agent for management and utilization of the funds.


Past grant recipients may submit new LOIs after their grant period and all reporting is completed, and will be evaluated with the same criteria for innovation and bold problem-solving as other grant seekers,
