Re: Join Us in the Fight for Freedom – $500,000 Fundraiser Campaign

Dear [Recipient’s Name],

We hope this letter finds you in great health and high spirits. For the past 13 years, the Starts Within Organization has been unwavering in its commitment to break the cycle of recidivism and empower individuals impacted by the criminal justice system. Through comprehensive rehabilitation programs, education, and employment opportunities, we have helped countless individuals reintegrate into society as productive citizens.

However, there is much more work to be done. That’s why we are launching our Fight for Freedom Campaign, with the goal of raising $500,000 to reduce recidivism rates and support our mission to transform lives. This ambitious fundraising effort will directly fund our proven programs, including job training, case management, mentorship, and community reintegration services. With your partnership, we can continue to create lasting change and provide individuals with the tools they need to succeed.

Why Your Support Matters

The need for your support is urgent. Nearly two-thirds of individuals released from prison recidivate within three years, with many returning to a life of crime and incarceration. Through our initiatives, we have seen first-hand how strategic intervention—through skills training, education, and post-release support—helps individuals stay out of the system, rebuild their lives, and contribute positively to their communities.

This is where you come in. We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor or donor for this critical fundraising campaign. Your generous contribution will directly fund the resources that help us achieve our mission.

How You Can Make a Difference

We are offering a variety of sponsorship opportunities as well as ways for individual donors to get involved. Whether you choose to make a one-time donation or become a recurring supporter. Every dollar helps in the fight for Freedom.

• Platinum Sponsor ($50,000 and above): Featured prominently in all marketing materials, website, and event signage. Invitation to exclusive events and recognition during major milestones.
• Gold Sponsor ($25,000 – $49,999): Logo placement on materials, event invitations, and a special thank-you recognition.
