Dear Mr. Darwin,
The foundation board at New Leaf writes this letter to inquire about your possible interest
in supporting the work that is done at New Leaf, a social service organization based in Houston,
Texas, seeks funding to initiate a new program known as “United We Stand”. This program is
specifically aimed at providing assistance to adult support groups in the Houston community;
support groups which render economic, social and moral support to aged and single adults, living
entirely on their own without the protection of family members, partners or children, and who
stand at the risk of suffering from isolation and depression as a consequence of having to fend
for themselves all on their own. With the funds acquired, New Leaf hopes to provide major adult
support groups in Houston with the financial disbursements that they need to introduce plans,

programs and activities that are aimed at making the lives of single and older isolated adults,
more secure and positive.
New Leaf is a civil society organization that has been operating in the American city of
Houston for a significant length of time now and which is dedicated to providing the community
members with the support and the aid that they need in order to be able to engage in quality
living on a day to day basis. New Leaf as an organization takes cognizance of the fact that not all
community members are well to do, and even in the event that they are financially secure, there
are still support services that need to be made available to community members who do for
instance, stay all on their own, who do not have family members to look after them or to look in
on them and see if they are doing alright, and who could do with support given in the form of
having daily tasks or chores performed for them, being given emergency medical assistance etc.
The latter constitutes the type of aid and assistance that is usually made available by support
groups and while there are many support groups in Houston already, most of these are severely
short of funds or financial strength. New Leaf is an organization that is dedicated to promoting
the work that is undertaken by the adult support groups in Houston particularly those that are
dedicated to improving the lives of senior citizens in Houston as also the lives of middle aged
adults who are on their own, without partners or family and who do not have anyone to care for
them other than themselves. The work of the adult support groups is something that New Leaf
intends on facilitating by providing them with the funds that they need in order to be able to meet
their goals and objectives and also to provide them with the manpower which they require to
meet their goals and objectives. This includes initiating programs, policies and actions that will
entail looking up on the adults who are in need of support on a day to day basis over and above
providing them with counseling, engaging with them on a one to one basis to find out what it is
