Letter of Support/Endorsement Request Form

Letter of Support or Endorsement Request Form
Organizations frequently seek letters of support or endorsement from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) when applying for federal, state, local, or private funding. Each request undergoes a review by content experts to determine whether the proposed work aligns with IDOE priorities, demonstrates a feasible plan, and has the potential to improve outcomes for Indiana learners. Requests that do not meet these expectations may not be approved.

To support a timely review, applicants must provide clear information about the proposal’s goals, anticipated impact, and alignment with statewide priorities. Complete submissions help the IDOE respond efficiently.
