1. Grant Cover Letter (PDF/Print Submission) [Your Letterhead or NIL Donor Inc. Header] [Date] NBA Foundation 645 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022 Attn: Grant Review Committee Dear NBA Foundation Grant Review Committee, On behalf of NIL Donor Inc., I am pleased to submit this grant proposal for your consideration. Our request seeks funding to provide hotel accommodations for families of NCAA student-athletes in non-revenue sports—particularly women and minority athletes—whose parents often cannot afford to visit due to travel, lodging, and inflationary barriers. This program is deeply aligned with the NBA Foundation’s mission to empower the Black community and advance economic opportunity through employment and education. By focusing on families within one hour of NBA team cities, our initiative localizes impact while connecting community, college, and the professional sports ecosystem. NIL Donor Inc. is uniquely positioned to scale this solution with our compliance-ready CRM platform, Giving Group fundraising system, and national network of NCAA institutions. This proposal includes a full program design, budget, and sustainability strategy. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the NBA Foundation to champion equity, presence, and community for families that have long been left behind in the collegiate athletic journey. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, 2.
