2.1 Letter of Support Template
SATO is pleased to work with organizations seeking USAID funding during the pre-award phase. We can hold early conversations about how SATO products could support the project activity, and we can provide a letter of support for organizations to include in their proposals. The PDF linked below offers templated language that SATO provides to interested parties. If you’d like to include a letter of support on LIXIL letterhead with SATO’s CEO’s signature in your proposal, please contact pbl-sato@lixil.com
