The Blocker Foundation requires all potential applicants to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) before being invited to submit a full application. LOIs allow you to introduce your organization and its funding needs to ensure alignment with the Foundation’s funding priorities. All LOIs need to be completed on, and submitted through, the Foundation’s online grant portal. A call with Foundation staff is required before LOI submission.

If your Letter of Intent is approved, you will be invited to submit a full application for funding, and we'll send you a passcode to access the application. The Foundation welcomes and encourages questions from the time your LOI is approved until your full application is submitted. All applications must be submitted through the Foundation’s online grant portal before 2pm ET on the deadline date and include all required items at the time of submission.
