TO DEVELOP A MICROFINANCE PROPOSAL AT MY NGO FOR A DONOR
Date:______________-
Dear (Non-Governmental Organization);
I am writing to you in the hope that you will lend us a helping hand in the establishment and implementation of our program.
Our program is all about giving free lessons to public school children in the elementary years who are currently having a hard time understanding their lessons. It is in the form of tutoring with the objective to help these children cope in their classroom lessons and activities.
Aside from academics, we also aim to act as a guiding force to guide these children in the right path regardless of their color, religion, beliefs, and family history. Many of these children just need listening ears to which their parents and family cannot provide as they are busy looking for a way to live.
I am not in the position to know if our public school system have provided other measures to aid these children academically and emotionally. For all intents and purposes, there may even be programs already in effect. But based on observations, it might not be implemented efficiently due in part to overly large population in any public school especially in the NCR regions.
Conversing with students, I found out that tutoring is available for certain subjects whose teachers are willing to extend an additional hour or two but this comes with a corresponding fee. Most parents cannot afford or are not willing to add additional expenses for tutors as they feel their limited income will go a long way if they will spend it on food and other necessities instead of feeding the tutor. Even if we know they are partly wrong, we cannot blame them. Most of the times, survival is their topmost priority.
Ninety percent of our program will focus on academics. There will be no segregation of grade level as this is not a formal schooling. No subject matter is assigned. Rather, each children will be given time to ask questions about their lesson in school that they do not understand; and each children will also have the opportunity to explain, even to teach the lesson that their group member finds difficult. The tutor’s main role is to act as buffer to the children, explain further the lessons, or correct discreetly the explanation or the teaching of the student.
The remaining ten percent will be allotted for making products to be sold on special occasions as during the Christmas season, Valentine’s day, and Graduation period. Part of the earnings will be divided equally among the children while another part will be used to subsidize activities that will boost rapport and solidarity. This will teach them the value of earning money through hard work as well as the usefulness of team spirit.
In this regard, we would like to ask you to participate in our program by sending tutors to mentor these children, and to contribute the amount of Php ______ to finance our program. Your tutors will also be asked to help train other people in the act of tutoring and dealing with children.
The financing will cover the cost of operational expenses as:
- writing materials
- light snacks
- materials to be used for crafts to be sold on occasions
- graduation get-together
- other incremental expenses
We know that you will welcome this opportunity to help our children to better understand their lessons, raising the level of literacy in our country. As a start, we will only start within Metro Manila but our aim is to spread this advocacy to all the Philippine islands.
We trust that our advocacy Is in line to what your organization aims for. Should you need to know more about our program, please feel free to contact us. You can reach us through our contact number of ———- or you can send us an email through our account at ______. We are also available to meet with you to discuss our agenda at your most convenient time and place.
We hope to receive a reply before the start of the school year 2012-13 as we plan on implementing our program before the first quarterly exam.
In good faith, we remain
