There is no charge to submit a LOI. You will normally pay a per application fee. The fee starts at $15 per application and goes down to $11 per application. Some grantmakers may choose to pay the per application fee for you by issuing a waiver. You'll be told before you submit an application whether you or the grantmaker will be paying the per application fee, and how much the fee will be.

Application Costs

Waivers

Grantseekers are normally charged a per application fee ranging from $15 to $11 per application.

Grantmakers can choose to pay the grantseekers per application fee (for applications submitted to that grantmaker) by issuing a waiver. General waivers are for all grantseekers, specific waivers are for one specific grantseeker. The grantmaker may specify an expiration date and number of times used limit for each waiver.

The grantseeker may use the waiver to pay for an application submitted to the grantmaker.
