Instructions for Submitting a Letter of Intent and Proposal
Walder Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals at this time. This web page is provided for organizations that have been invited to apply for a grant.
The grant application process has two steps: completing a letter of inquiry (LOI) and, if invited, a full proposal application.
To submit an LOI, begin with step 1. If you have already submitted an LOI and have been invited to submit a full proposal, proceed to step 2.
HOW TO APPLY
You will need to create an account in foundationConnect, our grants management system. To create an account, you will need your organization’s EIN.
1. Create an account in foundationConnect and save your letter of intent.
Click on the link below and choose Create New Account:
You will receive a confirmation email from grants@walderfoundation.org. Click on the link in the email to verify your email address. You will receive a second email from grants@walderfoundation.org. Click the link in the second email to create your password, sign in to your account, and start and save a new application. To save an application, complete the first field, Project Title (you can change this later), and then choose Save. If you do not enter and save a Project Title, your application will not save.
IMPORTANT: If you do not start your letter of intent immediately after receiving the confirmation email, you will need to return to this page and click the link above to be directed to the LOI form.
Once you have saved your letter of intent, use the link below to resume work and submit your letter of intent:
Walder Foundation Grantee Portal
You can log in any time to work on the letter of intent and save your progress.

2. Submit a proposal.
If you are invited to submit a full proposal, return to foundationConnect and log in to access the proposal form:
Walder Foundation Grantee Portal
You can log in any time to work on the proposal and save your progress. A complete proposal requires submitting an application form and uploading documents. To continue work on a saved proposal, scroll all the way to the right, click on the arrow, and choose “Edit” from the drop-down menu.

An automated email confirmation is generated upon submission of the form. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours of submitting your letter of intent, please check your spam folder and then contact: grants@walderfoundation.org
