Applicants should prepare a concise, well-targeted mailed letter addressed to the named contact (include proof of 501(c)(3) status and brief program impact), and follow up by phone if needed; emphasize Illinois connection or clear alignment with the foundation's observed themes (civil rights, LGBTQ+, reproductive health, immigrant support, environmental advocacy). Building local credibility or introductions via organizations already in the foundation's portfolio will strengthen chances given the mix of repeat and new grantees.
