Grants Process Update: Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Stage
The San Diego Women’s Foundation (SDWF) is excited to announce that we are moving into the Letter of Inquiry (LOI) stage of our grants process.
This year, SDWF will award funding to nonprofit organizations working to expand affordable, accessible, and quality child care for infants and toddlers (ages 0–4 years) in San Diego County.
Nonprofit organizations interested in applying are strongly encouraged to attend our Grantseekers Forum on Tuesday, October 14 before submitting a Letter of Inquiry. The forum will provide important details about our funding priorities and the application process.
