The sample response is very appropriate. You're best off having a conversation before applying, but it's difficult to get anyone to respond or set up a call unless you have an "in."

Cons

Difficult to work with

The Haas Fund made time to have a phone call with us before we submitted our application, so I would recommend that all colleagues reach out to have an introductory phone call to get advice on whether their organization fits with the Haas Fund's priorities.
