Past Opportunities:

The Letter of Intent (LOI) serves as the first part of the subaward application. The purpose of the LOI is for applicants to briefly describe their organization and funding proposal and for the Kentucky Office for Refugees to review proposals before pushing applicants to the full application. Once you submit an LOI, KOR will review. If approved, you will pushed to the full application.

After submitting your full application, a scoring committee will review the application based on the criteria listed in the NOFO. If approved, you will receive an email from KOR with details on your funding.
