Funding Letter

Below you will find the funding letter that Jenny and me (Jens) have composed.
Please let us know what you think about this, suggestions on improvment are always welcome.
We can also email out the nice and shiny word doc at request.

‘Hackney in Focus’ Project – Funding Request


To Whom It May Concern,

We are 3rd year Digital Photography students at the London South Bank University and at present we are preparing to curate an exhibition from the 5th till 9th December’07. Our aim is to involve the local community of Hackney in taking photographs of their immediate environment. In order to encourage people to look at their surroundings differently we are promoting any possible photography medium. The collaborative work between students and community members will be the body of work displayed.

To date we have received significant support from:

Hackney Empire is an entertainment establishment in the heart of Hackney Central and they are happy to provide us the needed exhibition space at their venue.

London South Bank University has agreed to support our project by providing us with the necessary equipment, as well as some of the funds needed.

PhotoBox is our resource for printing images, courtesy of the company.

Low-tech is a local graphic design agent and enthusiastically offered us to take on the roll of designing and printing us 1000 flyers.

Our outstanding funding needs are mainly to be used for an exhibition catalogue, which will be produced soon after the exhibition. Further funding is required for the photo installation materials as well as the production of our website. To show our utmost gratitude of your financial support we will be including your name, details and logo in the catalogue, flyers and posters.

At this point we are of course very pleased to invite you to the exhibition. We would also like to thank you for your time and hope that we can welcome you on board.

Sincerely

I am not sure Jens and Jenny if we can say that we will include their logo(I mean different companies) into flyers and posters if we will do it in Photobox and propably we will, Photobox might not agree to that as we are using them as a main supplier for printing.To all the rest I agree.

Very well written guys! The only thing I was thinking about is if Low-tec will print the flyers or not, but that we will find out tonight after Zaras and Sandras meeting with them!
