Some funders may have limits on how much you can request for each item. It is important to stay within that limit.

Other Funding

Describe other sources of funding or support that you have received or are applying for in order to deliver the project.

You should also list any donations, in-kind support or other sources of funding. An example of in-kind support may be free space for your program or donation of a computer.

Letters of Support

Letters of support show that other groups, organizations and individuals in your community are aware of your project and support it.

Most funders will ask for at least two letters of support. They let the funders know that you have discussed your project with others in the community and that there is support for the activities you are proposing to carry out.
