Dear friends,
You are in our inner circle. You trust us to be your partner in philanthropy and to provide you guidance about where your giving will have the greatest impact. You are the people we call when there's an urgent funding need in our nonprofit community, or when we hear about a giving opportunity that aligns with your personal passions, values and goals. This year, through our relationships with generous people like you, YVCF has granted millions of dollars in advised donations, made our 2nd affordable housing investment, and - we are so very pleased to say - saved Casey's Pond.
Our work at YVCF is possible only with your support. Every year, we need to raise approximately 1/3 of our operating budget through direct donations from individuals. By now you have likely received our annual appeal in the mail and by email. This is the one time of year we ask for donations to support our operations. With a small staff of just 6 people, we hope you recognize the value of your gift, and the return that our broader community receives from your investment in our work.
If you have already given to support YVCF, THANK YOU! We are very grateful. If you are not sure if you have given, please reach out. I always love hearing from you! If you have not yet donated to YVCF Operating, would you consider including the Foundation in your charitable giving this year?
It's my goal to connect more deeply with you in the coming year, to learn about how I can better help you achieve your philanthropic goals, identify funding needs that resonate with you, and answer any questions you have about local nonprofits, funds, ways to give, or anything else on your mind. I truly appreciate your partnership in this meaningful work. Together we TRULY make a difference. Thank you for your generosity. We would be humbled, honored and grateful for your donation to support YVCF.
Sincerely,
Traci Hiatt
Director of Philanthropy
