- Re: Letter of support for Green Corners Youth Garden
- Dear Members of the Grants Committee,
- I am writing on behalf of Riverside Health Clinic to strongly support the application from Green Corners Youth Garden for funding to expand its school vegetable garden program to three more schools.
- Riverside Health Clinic serves about 4,000 patients in the Eastside neighborhood. Many of the families we see live more than a mile from a store that sells fresh vegetables, and diet-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes are among the most common reasons for our visits. We have referred patients to Green Corners' family nutrition classes since 2023, and our staff have seen children bring home both vegetables and new habits.
- If this application is funded, Riverside Health Clinic commits to:
- • Hosting four free family cooking workshops a year at our community room
- • Referring at least 60 families a year to the garden program
- • Sharing anonymous, aggregate feedback from participating families to help the program measure results
- Green Corners has been a reliable partner. Their team turns up, follows through and listens to the community. I am confident they will use this grant well.
- Please contact me at 555-0188 or a.nwosu@riversideclinic.example with any questions.
- Sincerely,
- Dr. Amara Nwosu
- Director, Riverside Health Clinic
- Checklist reviewers look for
- • Who the supporter is and why their voice matters
- • How long and how they have worked with the applicant
- • A real local need, in the supporter's own words
- • Specific commitments (time, referrals, space, money)
- • Contact details and a signature
How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and replace each [bracket]. Attach the funder's guidelines if you have them.
- Paste it on the todo.is Today screen, or email it to your agent with the attachment.
- You get a one-page letter as a Word file for your letterhead and a PDF.
- Writing for several partners? Ask for a different version per supporter so the letters do not read the same.
Tips for a better result
- Commitments are what make a support letter count: hours, referrals, space, staff or money, with numbers.
- Avoid copy-paste letters from every partner. Reviewers notice when five letters share the same sentences.
- Address it to the person or committee in the guidelines, and use the project name exactly as in the application.
- Send the draft to the supporter early. They need time to edit, put it on letterhead and sign.
- For visa or immigration support letters, follow the official instructions closely and check them with an adviser.
letter of support: FAQ
- What is a letter of support? It is a letter from a partner, community member or organization saying they back a project or person, why, and often what they will contribute. Funders, agencies and committees use it to judge real support.
- What is the difference between a letter of support and a letter of commitment? A letter of support shows backing. A letter of commitment promises specific resources. Many funders like a support letter that includes concrete commitments.
- How long should a letter of support be? One page is standard. Some funders set limits, so check the guidelines.
- Can my agent write letters for several partners at once? Yes. List each partner and what they bring, and your agent writes a different letter for each so they do not repeat each other.
