Individual Donor Letter
Individual Donor Letter
Project details
What we need
- A concise, well-articulated letter (not exceeding two pages) to request funds from individual donors
What we have in place
- We currently have a draft of a letter from last year, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have moving stories from our clients, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,140 , allowing us to help more clients.
We will be sending our first annual appeal letter in October of 2018. I'm Kate our new -- and first -- Development Director and I'm requesting this project because I know that having the objectivity of an external consultant to help with this will only make our appeal stronger, even with my background in donor communications. Though we've been helping immigrant victims of crime and persecution in Georgia since 2005, we have recently grown and started taking on more operating expense. Your help with individual giving appeals will allow us to serve more clients.
Project plan
Our mission
Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN)'s mission is to to provide free immigration legal services to victims of crime and persecution. Our vision is safety, freedom, and opportunity for all.
What we do
Since its inception in 2005, Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN) has served Georgia's vulnerable immigrant community with pro bono legal representation.
GAIN attorneys train and mentor volunteer attorneys, screen cases, and offer technical assistance in immigration matters, while taking on a small percentage of our cases, usually with complex needs, through direct representation. Our impact has grown over time as we expanded the Asylum program's successful model of training and mentoring volunteer attorneys to create the Victims of Violence program for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crimes.
Since 2005, through direct representation and pro bono referrals, GAIN has helped over 6,600 women, men, and children secure immigration status as a result of a prior victimization or fear of persecution.
Testimonials
Meredith was a joy to work with. She managed our expectations perfectly for what (and how much time) she could bring to the process and she exceeded our expectations throughout. Meredith is truly gifted and insightful, and we're grateful for a much stronger annual appeal letter thanks to her careful editing and guidance!
