**This is a fictitious letter that I wrote in support of Give!Guide. If you decide to write one, you would write it in support of Admire Teachers and it would be addressed to To Whom It May Concern because these letters can be used with various funders not any one in particular. Give!Guide would not be part of the letter that you write. Imagine that you are writing it to someone who is considering providing funding to Admire Teachers. Reach out if you have questions.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my strong support for Give!Guide, the annual Willamette Week giving campaign that benefits Portland's nonprofit community. Our organization, Admire Teachers, was fortunate to be selected as a participant in last year's Give!Guide campaign, and we experienced firsthand the incredible impact of this initiative.
Give!Guide provided Admire Teachers with an unparalleled platform for fundraising and community engagement. Through the campaign, we successfully raised over $8,000. These funds were instrumental in furthering our mission to provide resources to K-5 Title 1 teachers and students in the Portland area. The financial support allowed us to reach a larger number of educators and students and create a more substantial positive impact.
In addition to the financial benefits, Give!Guide played a crucial role in broadening our organizational reach and increasing awareness of our mission. Participation in the campaign resulted in a noticeable increase in community engagement and public recognition of the importance of supporting Title 1 teachers and students. We have seen a lasting positive change in the visibility of Admire Teachers since our involvement.
We firmly believe Give!Guide is a vital resource for nonprofits in Portland, and we wholeheartedly endorse its continued success. The campaign's impact extends far beyond fundraising, fostering community spirit and creating lasting connections between organizations and supporters.
Thank you for considering the immense value that Give!Guide brings to our community. Your support for this initiative will have a profound and lasting impact on numerous local nonprofits.
Sincerely,
Eric Maxen
Executive Director
Admire Teachers
