JRF Proposal Review Process

What questions does the JRF staff or Board consider as they review your Letter of Intent or grant proposal? 

While each request is different, here are some key questions for your guidance as you make your case.

  • Is this a match to the Foundation’s mission and priorities?
  • Is there a demonstrated and compelling local need in the Foundation’s service area?
  • How have you engaged the targeted community and its residents in identifying and addressing the stated need?
  • Is there a clear, detailed plan and objectives to address the identified need?
  • Does it use best or promising practices, and is it replicable?
  • Does it duplicate other initiatives?
  • Does the organization have the expertise and capability to implement this initiative?
  • Are the right partnerships engaged to implement and sustain?
  • Is the budget aligned with the plan, and is it feasible?
  • What is the community impact, and how will this be demonstrated?

Please note that submitting a Letter of Intent or a proposal does not guarantee funding. While your initiative may be very worthwhile, the Foundation has limited resources and will receive more requests than it can fund.
