Bidder's conference for LOI. The LOI was non-binding and served as an opportunity for organizations to submit a brief (2-page) overview of their proposed project. The purpose of the LOI was to solicit interest, assess the desire for pre-application supports (listening session, office hours, workshops on concepts, SAM sign up, etc.), and ensure that outreach in the target communities is reaching organizations that need capacity building. A low bar, one-page LOI form made access more equitable from the beginning, because organizations did not need to hire a grant writer right away. We ran a bidder’s conference and office hours throughout the LOI process. Once LOIs were submitted, we reached out to every organization who submitted an LOI to provide personalized feedback on eligibility and how to strengthen their application for the next round. Since the LOI was not binding, it was simply an opportunity for organizations to strengthen their application and see if their program was a fit without needing to expend extra effort.
