Grant applicants must meet certain eligibility requirements for many programs, and I can be of assistance to ensure these requirements are met. It is the applicant's responsibility to write the grant proposal and meet all deadlines.
I encourage applicants to contact my office for assistance. I can write letters on behalf of a grant application to alert agencies of my support of a project. For a letter of support, the following information is needed:
- Name of applicant.
- Address of agency and contact person at the agency.
- Contact person and telephone number for the project.
- Name of grant for which you are applying and CFDA number.
- Name of your project.
- Deadline for the letter of support. (Please allow 10 business days.)
- Project summary that includes a comprehensive description of the project.
- Letters of support will be mailed directly to the Agency. Copies can be provided for your records.
In addition, your request for a letter of support should highlight:
- What your project/program does and who it serves.
- Why this program is important to your community.
- Any unique features of your program/project.
- The specifics of how the grant money will be used.
You may email or fax your request to the attention of Joan Dykstra at (217) 403-4691, or mail it to:
Office of Congressman Timothy V. Johnson
Attention: Joan Dykstra
2004 Fox Drive
Champaign, Illinois 61820
I will work hard on your behalf to secure a federal grant, but please be aware that my support does not guarantee approval from a federal agency.
