Letter Of Inquiry- Free Arts NYC

Leave a reply

Free Arts NYCFREE ARTS NYC
1431 Broadway, 7th & 8th Fl
New York, NY 10018-1907

 

Dear Mr. Funder,

The Free Arts NYC organization provides undeserved children and families with a unique combination of educational arts and mentoring programs that help them to foster the self-confidence and resiliency needed to realize their fullest potential. I am writing to see if you would consider a proposal to expand the employment and counseling services available to these youth.

The need for programs are very crucial due to the fact that only 1 in 3 children live in poverty, only 8% of elementary schools meet state standards for arts education and, over 400,000 children are shut out of after school programs. Recognizing these disadvantages have really promoted a desire for change, but we need your help.

We believe that in order to accomplish this, improvement may come from a person of your expertise, someone who can directly reach out to these youth. To convince them to seek some additional education through our programs offered here at Free Arts NYC. Teens have reported a developed skill in portraiture and fundamental photography techniques. They have developed the capacity to analyze artworks from diverse perspectives. 97% have felt pride in their work, 100% of kids said PACT helped their family learn about working as a team.

I am requesting a donation of $15,000. We are in need of new computer equipment and art supplies. Your donation will give undeserved children the transformative powers of art and the support of caring mentors, growing the sense of possibility in their lives. We appreciate you taking an interest in our organization. Please pay us a personal visit at your convenience.

 

Sincerely,

Daniel Ehrmann

Chairman

With a profound ability to translate complex concepts with the aid of simple graphical approaches. My expertise in Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word and Powerpoint are finely tuned as I have worked on them extensively.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

This assignment was very beneficial, it forced me to take a good look at what sort of opportunities are out there pertaining to my field and I am amazed at what i’ve discovered. My field consists of many components. There are various routes that a person can take when studying communication design. I, myself am indecisive about what subject I want to focus on when I am ready to pursue my masters degree; because I am still trying to figure out my strengths. But first I must develop work experience in my industry, as a student seeking a bachelors in communication design management I would need at least 3-5 years of experience. Proficiency in mostly Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. These are skills I have developed throughout college. They must have an eye for color and color correction,  a skill which comes naturally. The ability to maintain workflow is what this career path is all about and I have yet to refine these abilities through practice.  It is strongly desired that this person have great communicative skills. I have a lot of growing to do in this aspect, through practice I think I have what it takes to become a very effective speaker. I feel that I have so much more to learn on the job, I haven’t obtained enough knowledge throughout my college courses because much of what we need to understand requires plenty of practice.
