Outreach Sample Email
Hello (name),
Hope you are having a wonderful (time of day)! My name is (name), and I am (position or organization eg: student at university, director, etc). I am currently a member of a team focused on helping develop (name of Clubhouse branch), a Member of Clubhouse International located in (location). Clubhouses offer people with mental illness opportunities for friendship, employment, housing, education, and access to medical and psychiatric services all in one place. Members of each Clubhouse actively participate in planning and organization, and while doing so, develop a vibrant support system that encourages all to participate. You can read more about Clubhouse International on its website: https://clubhouse-intl.org/.
Currently, my team is helping (Clubhouse branch) apply for grants in order to develop the Clubhouse, which will become an important resource for the city of (location). I am trying to figure out if (Clubhouse branch) would be a good fit for one of the (title of grants) Grants, specifically the (title of grant) Grant. The grant would primarily be used to further establish (clubhouse branch) as a Clubhouse (in terms of resources and outreach), but considering (reason for application), I think the organization would be a good fit. (Insert any questions you would have for the benefactor) I would really appreciate your input on whether you think we should apply!
I am reaching out to you because (origin of contact) listed you as a contact person, but if I can forward this request elsewhere, please let me know!
Thank You,
