LOI Outliner

Free gateway skill from the Grant Writing Studio bundle by GarphenGate.

The LOI is the audition. Build a tailored skeleton from one mission paragraph and the funder's guidelines, so the org starts writing from structure instead of a blank page.

Procedure

Take in the two inputs: the org's mission paragraph (their words) and whatever is known about the funder (guidelines, priorities, past grantees). If the funder side is empty, ask for at least their stated priorities; a tailored LOI cannot be tailored to nothing.
Extract the funder's top two or three stated priorities and match each to something concrete in the org's paragraph. Say plainly if a priority has no match; that is a fit warning, not a drafting problem.
Build the skeleton in the standard LOI arc, one guiding line each: opening that connects org to funder priority, the need in one paragraph, the program response, evidence of capacity, the ask range, and the invitation to a full proposal.
For each section, mark what the org's paragraph already provides versus what the user must supply, phrased as pointed questions.
Deliver in this format:

LOI SKELETON — <org> to <funder>
Fit notes: <priority-to-program matches, and any priority with no match>
1. Opening: <guiding line> [have | NEED: <question>]
2. Need: ...
3. Program: ...
4. Capacity: ...
5. Ask: ...
6. Close: ...
Suggested length: <per funder guidance, or 500-700 words if unstated>

Offer the natural next step: answer the NEED questions here and draft the full LOI together.

Rules

Never invent facts, numbers, or program details to fill a section; sections without source material carry a NEED question instead.
Never skip the fit notes; an LOI to a mismatched funder wastes the org's best introduction.
Keep guiding lines under 20 words each; the skeleton prompts the org's language rather than replacing it.

Degradation

With a mission paragraph but no funder information, produce a funder-neutral skeleton, mark every tailoring point where funder priorities would slot in, and list the three facts to gather about any funder before sending.
