Letters of support

### Letters of support, submitted directly and confidentially

#### The applicant names a partner

The applicant lists the organizations writing in support: a chamber of commerce, a partner venue, a co-funder.

#### The partner submits directly

Each partner gets its own secure link and submits straight to your program.

#### The applicant never sees it

The applicant never sees the letter, so nobody edits a reference before the committee reads it.

#### The packet assembles itself

Application, attachments and letters assemble into one package per applicant. Nobody merges PDFs by hand.

Scoring

### Scoring your committee can stand behind

#### Rubric scoring

Members score against your criteria in one place, not in a spreadsheet emailed back to staff.

#### Panel assignment and recusal

Assign members to applications. A member with a conflict is recused, their score left out, and the record shows why.

#### A ranked recommendation

Scores combine into a ranked list the committee can adjust and adopt as its recommendation to council.

#### A public record of the decision

Committees under the Open Public Meetings Act (RCW 42.30) can publish the scores and recommendation as a public summary.

Leaving is not a rebuild. Applications, letters of support, scores and award records export at any time, at no charge. [How export works](https://cloverleaf.works/trust#data-ownership)

Programs

### Every program on one platform

The same intake, letters and scoring work for any program where people apply and a panel decides.

#### CDBG subrecipients

Block grant applications from the organizations that deliver your programs.

#### Human services

Rounds for food banks, shelters and service providers, scored by a citizen panel.

#### Arts commission grants

Grants for artists and arts organizations, with work samples attached.

#### Neighborhood matching funds

Small grants matched by volunteer hours or local dollars, from application to award.

#### Board and commission recruitment

Applications to serve on your boards and commissions, with references submitted directly.

#### Vendor prequalification

Prequalification applications, with references from past clients submitted confidentially.

#### A cycle in detail, lodging tax

Washington cities and counties of 5,000 or more that collect lodging tax need a committee of at least five members (RCW 67.28.1817). Tourism organizations, event producers and museums apply, staff chase the letters and build the packet, and a ranked recommendation goes to council.

Your form, rubric, committee roles and recusal rules are configured before your first login, at no charge. You start from your program, not a blank form builder.

Plans are sized by how many programs you run. Adding one is a change to your plan, not a new purchase. [See Applications pricing](https://cloverleaf.works/pricing#applications)

Scope

### What we don't do

Cloverleaf Applications runs the programs your agency administers. It isn't a procurement suite for bid evaluation, and it doesn't find or apply for grants on your behalf. Those are separate products, and good ones exist.
