Prospectus Letter Draft (Outline)

PR Solutions

Part One:
Community Abuse Prevention Services Agency (CAPSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and providing education in order to prevent violence in our community.

CAPSA offers services to victims of domestic violence in the home and help children and families rebuild their lives. Generous monetary contributions and donations from the community allow CAPSA to help these individuals, however within the last couple of months donations have progressively slowed down. CAPSA has also seen a trend of low moral amongst the victims during the holiday seasons where memories of domestic abuse and family neglect are prevalent.

Part Two:
Sponsor appeal for this event will be extremely broad. We will be asking for local businesses to sponsor our EASTER EXTRAVAGANZA event by donating money, time and resources that they may have to help us put on the event.

CAPSA event: EASTER EXTRAVAGANZA
CAPSA will be hosting their first annual Easter Extravaganza for the children and families of CAPSA on Saturday, April 11 at Ellis Elementary Park. A small donation of one item per child grants entrance to the event for the entire afternoon.

Part Four:
-The problem is that CAPSA doesn’t have enough local donations and support.
-Though this is a long term problem, we plan to begin to address this by throwing an event. It is a community Easter Event involving an Easter egg hunt, lunch and contests for the kids.
-We are hoping that this event will bring more awareness to the community as all families are invited to participate, that CAPSA needs their help.
-It should not be difficult to bring about this awareness through the event and through the many sponsors we will obtain for it.
- In order to participate the only requirement is that the family brings some sort of donation. It can be anything from a blanket to a can of baby food to a monetary donation.
-We hope through this event to double our community awareness and our donations.
-This can be measured by having at least six positive stories about CAPSA printed in Cache Valley Newspapers.

Part Five:
-We are dedicated to this task. Our organization feels CAPSA is an amazing one of a kind organization in Cache Valley and we will do everything to increase awareness in the community.
-Our idea to have this Easter Event is one that hasn’t been done by CAPSA before. Anybody can ask companies for donations but our idea is truly unique in that we are involving the community by helping them see what kind of abuse goes on in their backyard by bringing them together with the victims of this abuse. We hope that this will strike a chord with our donors and compel them to donate as much as they can, versus donating the bare minimum or nothing.
