## If you’re taking about LOI, then below is the right resource you’re looking, if not, then check the bottom links, you will find helpful resources for Request for information (RFI) letters tips & samples. 👍

Most [foundations](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/the-history-and-types-of-foundations-2502444) today prefer that you send a proposal letter (aka letter of inquiry, or LOI) rather than a full grant proposal, especially when your [nonprofit](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/nonprofit-vs-for-profit-job-2502380) first approaches it for funding.

## What Should You Include in an LOI?

The proposal letter is very similar to a proposal except that it is short — a mini-proposal. Proposal letters or LOIs are just one of [several kinds of proposals](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/types-of-grant-proposals-2501974) a grant writer uses.

You might draw the elements of the LOI from a grant proposal that you have already written, even one that may be already partially funded. Or you could use the information you are in the process of putting together for a potential proposal.

Sending an LOI before you complete a proposal is a way to get valuable feedback that you can use to revise your proposal ideas.
