Costa Rica: The Road Less Travelled
Conservation & Sustainability Fundraising Letter
Dear _________,
In the coming year, I will join a group of volunteers to Costa Rica on a mission to help a struggling community to achieve sustainability. I will be going with Globe Aware, a non-profit volunteer organization. Globe Aware is leading and organizing the program.
The community projects we will be working on are quite varied, from teaching basic English, implementing environmental projects to protect the Carrara National Rainforest, and several other community self-help projects such as teaching basic First Aid. In the past, Globe Aware volunteers have completed these projects to contribute to the community: built cabinas, planted hundreds of trees, set up a First Aid center, built recycling stations, built waste receptacles, and more!
By making a pledge on my behalf, you are supporting global sustainability projects on a local level, and contributing to a greater world of understanding and awareness. My goal is to raise at least $____ this year. Over 85% of your contribution goes directly to the programs. Please help me reach that goal with your pledge. Your donation is 100% tax deductible and you will receive a receipt for your tax records.
I appreciate your consideration in sponsoring me. Your support, no matter what the amount, is deeply appreciated. You can donate online, by clicking the link below.

___________Your Name
