Dear

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for support by the

________________________.

In the five short years since its founding, the ______________________ has

played a major role in the transformation of ____________ from a town with too many

unproductive, unsupervised kids with too much time to get into trouble to one providing

these youth with a valuable structured program. The ____________________ program

uses the First Serve Life Skills Curriculum to “empower young people by providing local

tennis facilities and schools with a life skills program that promotes positive values,

healthy habits, and education through the game of tennis – resulting in real life power,

on and off the court.”

A priority need for the _______________________ program, which operates

summer and after-school programs, is funding for curriculum supplies and part-time

program staff. In the past, we have relied on volunteer or minimally compensated staff.

This has resulted in high turnover, continued difficulty attracting qualified personnel, and

limited continuity for the participants whose success depends on positive role models and

the relationships they build with their instructors.

The __________________________ is requesting $ _____ from the

_____________ to support this program that makes a meaningful difference in the lives

of our youth. A contribution from ______________ will give us the jumpstart we need

while we continue to implement our recently developed fund raising plan.

We believe that the ______________________ program is consistent with the

mission and interest of __________________, and hope that you will find it in your

hearts and budget to support this program. If I can provide additional information to

encourage consideration of our request, please feel free to contact me at ____________.

I would also be happy to personally meet with your committee to present this proposal.

Most sincerely,

Name
