Dear [Donor or Sponsor]
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. On behalf of the Indoor Exposure Index (INDEX), a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, I am writing to seek your generous support for our annual fund.
Our mission at INDEX is threefold:
- Make identifying complex environmental exposures simpler: We aim to develop tools and resources that simplify the identification of various environmental exposures that can impact indoor environmental quality.
- Raise awareness of potential health risks: By conducting research and disseminating information, we strive to educate the public—especially the commercial cleaning sector—about the potential health risks associated with poor indoor environmental quality.
- Provide simple but meaningful metrics: Our goal is to create straightforward, actionable metrics that help individuals and organizations improve indoor environments, thereby protecting human health.
Your contributions to INDEX will enable us to continue developing these vital resources and advancing our mission. As a token of our appreciation, donors will receive consideration from the INDEX Board of Directors (BOD) for priority projects. See separate Priority Projects List. Please note that INDEX BOD members affiliated with donor companies must recuse themselves from voting on annual INDEX priority projects that materially benefit companies with which they are affiliated.
Donations to INDEX are tax-deductible, and we ensure that the use of funds will be carefully accounted for. We will provide regular reports on our financial expenditures and the progress of our projects to keep you informed about the impact of your support.
Your generosity can make a significant difference in our efforts to improve indoor environments and protect human health. We kindly ask you to consider making an annual donation to support the important work of INDEX.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and commitment to our cause.
Warm regards,
Allen Rathey
Interim Executive Director, Indoor Exposure Index (INDEX)
