Dear [NAME],
The funding landscape for organizations like [ORG] is changing, and we need your help to navigate the transition.
We are reaching out to our most passionate supporters, like you, to consider new, smarter ways to support our important work.
Giving a non-cash asset, such as a gift of stock, gift from an IRA, cryptocurrency, or grant from a Donor-Advised Fund has an immediate and direct impact on [MISSION] while also providing you with tax benefits.

Why non-cash assets now? For many donors, giving these types of assets allows them to give a larger gift than cash, having a wider impact on [ORG]’s work. Additionally, all of the smart giving options can bring substantial tax benefits on future returns, ensuring that your donation is aiding our work as much as it is helping your finances.
The nature of funding ebbs and flows, and we need your support to help us grow our services and continue [MISSION].
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our work.
Warm regards,
[SIGNATURE]
