The project our organization proposes falls somewhat outside the mission statements of the Orfalea Foundations. Is it still worth sending a Letter of Inquiry?
Our mission statements and areas of concentration are provided as strong guidelines to give applicants a good sense of the kinds of projects which are most likely to be funded. However, innovative and creative programs that fall slightly outside of these areas, but which reflect the overall spirit of our missions, will certainly receive due consideration through our Letter of Inquiry process.
