Support Letter for HWMO GIA Application

Aloha Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization partners,

At the request of Representative Cindy Evans, we have been asked to gather support letters for this year’s Grant In Aid application which provides funds to nonprofit organizations.  We have applied for funds to address many of the priority projects that were recommended by our partners, as well as desperately needed operational support funds to cover some basics like rent and bookkeeping, which we can’t get covered through other grants.  We already know we are not receiving WUI funds this year as we normally do, so this grant will help us keep up our momentum and cover our costs, as well as implement a few new priority projects.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could write a letter of recommendation for us.  I have attached a template if that is useful for you.  Please let me know how else I might assist in the letter writing.  We have appointments with the decision making Representative and Senator in mid March, so we will need the letters before then.

Thank you so much for the letter, and your partnership and support in general!  Fingers crossed that we are awarded this grant!

Elizabeth
