Dear [Name]:
“Look what I got!” exclaimed Anaheim first-grader Sebastian Lopez-Maldonado, as
he opened his new backpack stuffed with school supplies, a book and a toy.
Last year, EveryNonprofit, in partnership with several companies and community
volunteers, provided 2,610 low-income first-graders in 21 Orange County schools
with backpacks as part of our annual Educational Giving program.
You helped make EveryNonprofit’s 50
th
Anniversary a year to remember with your
special gift of $3,000 last year that made programs like this possible.
With the holidays just around the corner, and an economic snowstorm far from melting away, EveryNonprofit has received
30% more requests from schools for this program already.
School budgets are in crisis, leaving no room for supplementing either the most basic of supplies or service-learning
programs that inspire character and community involvement.
More than the tangible gift of supplies that enhance school performance for these first-grade students is the service-
learning component that teaches these children that they can make a difference – no matter their financial situation.
Through Educational Giving students will have the opportunity to learn about cultural traditions of giving and examine
ways they can give back to their school or community through service. Then they turn around and participate in a hands-on
project to reinforce the experience.
Please, help us spread the joy of serving. Educational Giving provides a life-long lesson that everyone has something to give
– and in today’s world this is a beacon of hope for the future.
Warm wishes for your health and prosperity,
Frank Schultz
Board of Directors
