Prespectus Letter-Draft

Executive Summary:

SAAVI (Sexual Assault Anti Violence Information) is an organization that helps stop sexual assault and gender violence. We are currently working on a campaign called Men Can Stop Rape. Men Can Stop Rape is a unique program that teaches men how they can stop sexual assault and gender violence. With your help, we will have the funds necessary to promote Men Can Stop Rape and help those in need of our services. We are seeking a donation of $15,000 for the year of 2010. The purpose of this campaign is to change the mentality of men and create a culture free from violence.

Sponsor Appeal:

Our organization will be seeking private sponsors to fund the Men Can Stop Rape campaign. The major benefit that the sponsor will be receiving is name endorsement.
Our primary donor will be Jon M. Huntsman. He has a history of donating to universities and nonprofit organizations. Huntsman’s strong ethical beliefs and values correlate well with the message our organization promotes. We are looking for a private donation of $15,000 for our chapter of Men Can Stop Rape.

Problem:

Men Can Stop Rape’s current problem is low funding and lack of university awareness. Donations make it possible for us to offer help, support, and programs to those in need. With increased donations, our programs can reach more people and be effective in creating cultures free from violence.

    This is a worthy cause and great project. We thought that reading "Men Can Stop Rape" over 6 or 7 times was too much. Maybe try an acronym for those words? Also, is this school related? If so, include that in the first paragraph. A donor needs to know who is in charge of the campaign. Also, I feel that your objective to "change men's mentality" is kind of strange.
    Are you trying to get men to take part in the safey to women? or are you trying to change the mentality of a potential rapist? It's a good idea-just needs a little refinement.
    At the end make sure to include the email of someone specific.

    AP style wise-nonprofit is non-profit.
    It's a good draft, heart-felt, and relevant. I feel that with a little fixing it could really grab the donor and could get some serious donations.

  2. I would go into more depth when talking about the events. If somebody wants to give you 15,000 you should definitely explain exactly what it will go to.
