Do I have to submit a letter of support?

Letters of support are required.  If there is no LOS, the application will not be considered for funding.

How do I submit the required letter of support?

We recommend using our WillPower Letter of Support Form Template to complete.

All Letters of Support must be submitted through our application site. If you have any issues uploading your document please email your letter of support to info@willpowerfoundation.org, or mail to:

May I submit my letter of support after the deadline?

Letters of support that are received after the submission deadline will not be considered.

How soon will I hear whether I have been approved for a WillPower Grant?

Please refer to our Grants Information page to see when you will be notified about funding decisions.

How will I be notified about whether my application is funded or not?

All grant recipients will be notified by phone and by email.  Notification Letters will NOT  be sent by U.S. mail. Please be sure to check your voicemail and junk email box if you haven’t received notification after the funding decision date as specified in the Grants Information page.

I have been awarded a WillPower grant, but wish to change what I use it for. Is this allowed?

WillPower Applications are reviewed, scored, and approved based on the specific information submitted in the application. Therefore, requests for changes to the use of the grant after approval are strongly discouraged, and only considered when necessary. Proposed changes may be approved if they are simple in nature, i.e. the applicant wishes to purchase the approved product from a different vendor because the product is no longer available from the vendor listed on their application. Applicants requesting to use their funds for something which differs significantly than what they applied for (i.e. they wish to use the funds for a different service/program) will be asked to submit a new application.

I still have questions about how to complete the application. Who can I contact for help?

Email your questions to info@willpowerfoundation.org, or call our Executive Director: Hayley Procon at (413) 388-3909 or Contact Us here!
