The Welborn Baptist Foundation utilizes a two-stage application process that involves a brief statement of a proposed project or letter of interest and a formal proposal. Formal proposals are only accepted by request of the Foundation. The opportunity to submit formal proposal will only be considered after submission of a letter of interest. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted.

LETTER OF INTEREST
Organizations are invited to submit a letter of interest to determine if a project falls within our guidelines. Letters of interest should be no more than two (2) typewritten, single-spaced pages in length, on the letterhead of the organization seeking funding, and should be written using a 12-point Times New Roman font. All letters should include the name of a contact person and that person’s phone and e-mail address. Please do not include cover letters or package letters of interest in folders or other media. It is required that only one (1) copy of a letter of interest be submitted to the Foundation.

The Foundation is seeking proposals from secular nonprofit, church and faith-based organizations in the tri-state region that address areas of Foundation interest.

Categories of Funding

Two categories of funding will be available:

• Targeted funding will be directed towards the domains of Health and Education.  Within these two domains are 4 specific targets that incorporate strategies to accomplish our goals.   The Foundation will consider multi-year funding dependent on an annual evaluation of objective and goal achievements.
• General Opportunity – although the targeted areas will receive the majority of available funds, the Foundation will consider other opportunities that fit within its interests, but are not specifically identified within the targets.  This includes churches and faith-based organizations.
