Letters of support are required.  If there is no LOS, the application will not be considered for funding.

We recommend using our WillPower Letter of Support Form Template to complete.

All Letters of Support must be submitted through our application site. If you have any issues uploading your document please email your letter of support to wpfinfo@mcsnet.org or mail to:

Multicultural Community Services
Attention: WillPower Foundation at MCS
1000 Wilbraham Road
Springfield, MA 01109

Letters of support that are received after the submission deadline will not be considered.

Please refer to our Grants Information page to see when you will be notified about funding decisions.

Example Calendar:
Submission Period: May 16, 2025-July 31, 2025
Application Deadline: July 31, 2025
Funding Decisions: August 18, 2025

All grant recipients will be notified by phone and by email.  Notification Letters will NOT be sent by U.S. mail. Please be sure to check your voicemail and junk email box if you haven’t received notification after the funding decision date as specified in the Grants Information page.

WillPower Applications are reviewed, scored, and approved based on the specific information submitted in the application. Therefore, requests for changes to the use of the grant after approval are strongly discouraged, and only considered when necessary.

Proposed changes may be approved if they are simple in nature, i.e. the applicant wishes to purchase the approved product from a different vendor because the product is no longer available from the vendor listed on their application.

Applicants requesting to use their funds for something which differs significantly than what they applied for (i.e. they wish to use the funds for a different service/program) will be asked to submit a new application.

If you have additional questions or need assistance completing your application, please contact us at wpfinfo@mcsnet.org. Our team will be happy to help.
