A document prepared by an “expert†or person from the community or other organization acknowledging they are contributing specific services and/or fiscal resources to the implementation and support of the proposed project.

Letters of commitment go beyond the generally vague statements made in more traditional “letters of support.†From Holly Younghans, Grants Director, Neighborhood House Association
