Dear {Contact},

 

It is with great excitement that I submit this proposal for {our organization} to implement Program for Young Negotiators.  As you know, our organization has a long-term commitment to helping youth build the skills they need to succeed in life.  We are very eager to have this proven-effective program that will help us achieve our mission, help our youth achieve their goals, and help make the community in which we live a better place.

 

 

We are impressed with the program, developed by SERA Learning, a company based in San Francisco.  Unlike many “off-the-shelf” courses, it provides a comprehensive approach that is supported by staff training and ongoing consultation. I believe the innovative, high quality course materials, along with extensive support services, will make it possible for us to help our youth develop solid, effective, long-lived skills. 

 

 

Program for Young Negotiators focuses on building the capacity of young people, their teachers, and other mentors to use negotiation skills as a powerful means of achieving their goals. PYN has demonstrated it can improve communication and reduce the incidence of conflict in the toughest urban classrooms. Since it original pilot program at Edwards School in Charlestown, MA, in 1993, PYN has reached over 15,800 students in the U.S. and Canada and another 5,000 students in Israel and Argentina.

 

The only current impediment to instituting this program is the amount of money needed up-front.  We respectfully request your help in obtaining the initial funding for {number} of our staff to attend training and begin implementation. 

 
  While we can contribute to a portion of the costs, we are very grateful that you will consider providing the additional funding to make the project successful.  A gift of ${insert dollar amount} will enable us to help our youth develop the important skills they need.
   

Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to support your decision process.  I look forward to working with you on this valuable and important project.

 

Sincerely,
