LB is in a season where they are still figuring out what they want to do, so it makes it difficult to pitch a project to them. I first learned of them via GrantStation, and only had their profile info to go on. I emailed the foundation our 400-word max intro and was invited to submit a full proposal. It was declined and I asked for feedback. The feedback was honest and straightforward, but it made me wonder why we were ever allowed to submit a full application in the first place.
