Many of our grants require that you submit a letter of intent (LOI) before applying (use this table to identify which grants require one). We use the LOI as a preliminary review to verify that your project complies with HumanitiesAR and NEH guidelines prior to the application stage. The following items are reviewed in the LOI:
Which Grants Require and LOI
Grants that require an LOI:
- Major Grants
- Mini Grants
- Black History and Culture Grants
- Museum Collections and Resource Grant
Grants that do not require an LOI:
- REACH Grants
- Arkansas State Park Field Trip Grants
- Helen T. Leigh Museum Field Trip Grants
What to Expect
- To access a grant’s LOI:
- Log in to Foundant
- Click “Apply” on the grant of interest
- Follow directions to the LOI
- LOIs are due by 11:59 PM the date of the deadline. Any submission made after the deadline will not be considered.
- During the review stage, our staff will check for compliance with HumanitiesAR and NEH guidelines. If we need more information or clarification, we’ll contact the project director.
If Approved: If the LOI is approved, the project director will receive notification via Foundant. The project director can then move forward to filling out the grant application.
If Denied: If the LOI is denied, the project director will receive information about the reason via Foundant.
