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
Additional details
We need a warm, friendly, and professional fundraising letter to be sent to about 30 people on our list of potential supporters by December 8th.
What we have in place
- We currently have previous year-end letter, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a concise 2-page program impact report, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,890 , allowing us to get certified with the Forum on Education Abroad Standards of Excellence and to meet and present the Converge program to leaders of the top 40 University of the Nations campuses in over 30 countries.
All donations are designated. Our designated funding for the Operations and Executive Director's salary has dropped in recent months, so new pledged monthly support is absolutely necessary before the end of 2019 to sustain the Executive Director and the Operations of YWAM Converge, especially as we have now completed the MVP of the program and will be traveling extensively to release it to international leaders on 5 continents by March 2020.
Project plan
Our mission
We are a University Ministries Circle of YWAM International with a staff team of certified coordinators on five continents, hundreds of trained YWAM campus ministries staff, host partners, and volunteers.
Vision: To recapture the purpose of the university and proclaim the Gospel in every nation through every vocation.
Mission: To mobilize university students for the next and final wave of Global Missions and to foster student-led missions to and through every sphere of influence.
What we do
We cannot know God's calling until we know our story, especially the parts that hinder us. Jesus is calling us to engage our stories so we can engage our world.
We are developing missions-minded leaders for every sphere of influence. We facilitate opportunities for students to learn how to make a difference. Our target students are from ANYWHERE; they are ready to go into ALL the world, including EVERY area of influence. (Mt. 28:18-20).
Since 1989, we have coordinated internships for hundreds of students from over one hundred universities to nearly 50 countries to help start businesses and plant churches, install water pumps, establish therapy routines for disabled, perform research in clinics, develop nutritional plans for hospices, and create curriculum for schools. With Converge platform, we are preparing to connect, equip, and send over 300 interns per year.
