Dear Friends,

I am writing to you today to ask for your support in raising funds for our local K-12 school division. As you know, our schools are facing a number of challenges, including declining enrollment, increasing poverty, and a lack of resources. These challenges are making it difficult for our schools to provide the quality education that our students deserve.

I am asking you to help us close the achievement gap and ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to succeed. Your donation will help us to provide our students with the resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Here are two student-centered areas where your donation will make a difference:

• Early childhood education: Early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning. By investing in early childhood education, we can help our youngest learners get a head start and set them up for success in school and beyond.
• Support for students with special needs: Students with special needs deserve the same opportunities to learn and succeed as all other students. Your donation will help us to provide these students with the specialized instruction and support they need to reach their full potential.

In addition to these two areas, your donation will also help us to:

• Provide more opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports, arts, and clubs.
• Update our textbooks and technology so that our students have the tools they need to learn.
• Improve our school facilities so that they are safe and welcoming for all students.

I know that you are busy and that your donation is a gift. But I hope that you will consider making a donation to our school division. Your gift will make a difference in the lives of our students and help them to reach their full potential.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Why are these two areas important to education?

Early childhood education is important because it provides children with the foundation they need to succeed in school and beyond. Studies have shown that children who participate in high-quality early childhood education programs are more likely to graduate from high school, attend college, and get good jobs.

Support for students with special needs is also important because it ensures that all students have the opportunity to learn and succeed. Students with special needs may need specialized instruction and support in order to reach their full potential. By providing these students with the support they need, we can help them to achieve their dreams.

I hope this fundraising pitch has convinced you to donate to your local K-12 school division. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of our students and help them to reach their full potential.
