Partners

Dear [Business Name],

I'm writing on behalf of the Clinton Elementary Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 35-2217356), to invite your business to partner with us in supporting our neighborhood school.

Your tax-deductible contribution will directly enrich the lives of Clinton's students and families. The PTA funds essential programs and resources not covered by the school budget—initiatives that help our children succeed and make our community stronger.

This support is more crucial than ever. State funding for Columbus City Schools has dropped by $18 million this year. Unlike many other schools in the district, Clinton receives no federal Title I funding, leaving the PTA to fill the gap for enhancements like tutors, technology, and supplemental learning programs. Despite these challenges, Clinton's students consistently rank in the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools academically. But sustaining that success requires community investment.

Partnering with the Clinton PTA offers significant benefits for your business:

• Stronger Local Workforce: Better schools today mean better-prepared employees tomorrow. Your support helps build a skilled local workforce for the future.

• Customer Loyalty & Brand Trust: 87% of consumers say they'd purchase from a company that supports causes they care about. Supporting local education signals your commitment to the community and builds trust with mission-aligned families.

• Positive PR & Storytelling: Businesses can leverage sponsorships in marketing materials as a "Proud Supporter of Clinton Elementary PTA," generating positive PR. You'll also be featured in our school newsletters, signage, and social media—a great story to share with customers.

• Networking & Partnerships: Engage with other civic-minded businesses and discover new local partnerships, collaborations, and vendor opportunities.

• Exclusive Engagement Opportunities: High-level sponsors may be invited to school events, community days, and speaking opportunities, offering visibility and connections to local families.

Sponsorship Tiers:
• Bronze – $500: Recognition on our PTA website and in our monthly newsletter
• Silver – $1,000: All of the above plus your logo on printed event materials and a certificate of appreciation
• Gold – $2,500: All of the above plus social media mentions and signage at school events
• Platinum – $5,000+: All of the above plus the opportunity to name-sponsor a major PTA program or event

We'd love for you to join us in making Clinton Elementary a place where children thrive and our neighborhood grows stronger together. Please contact us for more details about how your support can make an impact.

Thank you for considering this partnership. We look forward to working with you for the benefit of Clinton's students and the future of our community.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Clinton Elementary PTA
