2021 Sponsorship – Important Updates!
 

 

Dear Friends and Family,

Greetings!!! 

Hope you are all doing great.

Few process changes on how to distribute the funds in India and fundraising event is coming up in a few months.

As you all know we cancelled our regular volleyball and throw-ball tournaments due to COVID.

But we were able to reach out to 126 students last year (2020) with your generous support, and have already initiated the sponsorships for our first batch of students last month (August 2021), second batch over the weekend and we are getting ready for the next batch.

Here are some of the important Updates for Sponsors:

Due to some of the FCRA regulation changes we are forced to make minor changes to the way we distribute sponsorships to our students starting this year. Here are the options.

1. Students Identified By Sponsors (Preferred Option): Please transfer your sponsorship amount directly to your student account from your personal account and ask them to send us the copy of the receipt and acknowledgement letter. We will reimburse your sponsorship amount from your WRO account balance once we receive the copy of the receipt and acknowledgement letter from your student. We will make all these details available under your account on our portal as before.

2. Students Identified By WeReachOut: We will make these distributions to our students in batches through our trusted contacts and network of volunteers and follow the same sponsorship process.

We have also updated/mapped all your contributions/sponsorships up to 2020 on our portal, please review the details under your account (My Donations & My Students sections) on our portal when you have some time and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Regarding 2021 fund raising effort:

We have successfully conducted effective fundraising dinner events (in-person and virtual) in the past couple of years around the thanksgiving season and that's helping us a lot to get ready for next year's sponsorships. We are planning to do a similar fundraising dinner event this year too.  

We all know it’s a challenging time for many, but if you feel like making a contribution towards this reach out program, please consider making a check payable to WeReachOut and send it to the following address or use the Donate option on our website to donate via PayPal.  Please don’t forget about the company match..

WeReachOut,

We sincerely thank you all for your generosity and continuous support to our team to facilitate this service.
