Letter of Inquiry (LOI) writer

LOIs (Letters of Intent) can make or break the first impression. You can easily generate high-quality and relevant LOIs using our AI-powered LOI writer built into Projects. Our LOI tool automatically connects to your Candid profile, so you can save time and get results quicker.  

Step 1: Create or select a fundraising project

Get started by creating or selecting a fundraising project from your dashboard. Provide relevant details on your project to generate a tailored LOI.

Step 2: Information for LOI 

Provide details below to generate your LOI: 

• Prospective funder organization – Search for the funder you’re targeting with this LOI 

• LOI name – Organize your LOIs by giving it a name 

• Amount needed (USD) – Input the amount in USD you’re asking for from this funder. You’ll also get recommendations on the appropriate ask amount when you select a prospective funder based on the giving history.  

• Connection to funder – State any prior contact or funding you’ve received from this funder before.  

• Funding sources – Write other funding sources you plan to approach for this project. This shows funders that you have a solid financial plan. 

 

Step 3: Generate and refine LOI 

It can take up to a minute for your LOI to be generated. You can edit and refine each section further using the editor tool with built-in AI suggestions. When you’re happy with the final output, you can download it as Word or PDF.
