Letters of Support Checklist
Use GrantPacketCheck to turn the official instructions into a clear checklist of required documents, deadlines, attachments, signatures, formatting rules, and submission steps.
Letters of support are one of the most commonly requested — and commonly mishandled — attachments in a grant packet. Guidelines are often vague about exactly how many are needed or who should write them, and because they depend on other people's time, they're one of the easiest requirements to fall behind on. This checklist covers what to confirm early, so you're not chasing signatures the week of the deadline.
Who this is for
Applicants who need to request and organize letters of support for a grant packet.
What this checklist helps you review
- Whether letters of support are required, or only encouraged
- The specific number requested, if any
- Who the funder wants letters from — partners, community members, government officials
- Whether letters need to reference the specific grant and program by name
- Whether letters need to be on organizational letterhead
- Whether letters need original signatures or scanned copies are acceptable
- The format for submission — separate files or combined into the main packet
- A realistic timeline for requesting letters, given other people's schedules
