School Name/Address Prospective Partner Address/Email Date Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing with reference to an exciting opportunity to become an active participant in School Name’s Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI). YPI is a unique citizenship programme, centred on empowering young people to make a genuine difference within their local community, whilst equipping them with the skill set, attitude and outlook needed to thrive and contribute in the 21st century. Across Scotland, YPI will be delivered in direct partnership with 255 secondary schools during the year ahead. This represents in excess of 34,000 participating young people with collective responsibility for directing £765,000 to small, local charities. School Name has been involved in YPI for the past XX years and has proudly awarded £XXXX into the local community through our participation in the programme. As part of our Delivery Subject curriculum, all Year Group students participate in YPI, each year taking responsibility for directing a £3000 YPI Grant to a local charity through a structured programme of team work, research and competition. This year we are looking to work alongside likeminded local partners to further enhance this project. By becoming involved with YPI your organisation could be part of a national programme having a real impact on students, schools, charitable organisations, and communities across Scotland. You will be supporting us to create meaningful opportunities for our young people to directly interact with, and understand, the local charitable sector; empowering them to become active and responsible citizens. This academic year School Name is responsible for a minority portion (£500) of the full £3000 YPI Grant and we are writing to ask if your organisation would be willing to sponsor this contribution? As a key partner of the programme, we would duly recognise your support at our prestigious school final and would also be keen to explore further opportunities to build/ strengthen/ enhance our relationship with your organisation. This, for example, may include the opportunity to attend and support our school launch; develop and contribute to a mentorship programme; or attend and potentially sit on the judging panel at our school final. Please find enclosed / attached more information on YPI, and should you wish to discuss how you could support this fantastic initiative, please contact Lead Teacher / SMT Link Name & Contact Information. Thank you in advance and we look forward to hearing from you. Head Teacher
