"Dear Nancy and Danielle:
Forgive us that this acknowledgement is arriving late, but please know that the sentiment is heartfelt. On behalf of the Board of directors, staff and participants at Mi Casa Resource Center, we would like to thank The Unleaded Group for its hard work in 2009 putting together a video about Mi Casa’s programs. We realize this was a challenging project that experienced some ups and downs but we are absolutely thrilled with the final version for the video and are extremely grateful to both of you and the team at The Unleaded Group for all your efforts. Mi Casa Resource Center for Women is a non-profit organization under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; no goods or services were provided in exchange for your gift of in-kind services. The full value of donated in-kind services is tax deductible to the extent of the law. The first version of the video was shown at Mi Casa’s November 2009 fundraising breakfast, and looking around the room at the many people wiping tears from their eyes was great confirmation of the video’s success. We now have the final version for the video prominently displayed on our website and plan to circulate the video via Mi Casa’s Facebook page, web log, and monthly e-newsletter. We are incredibly grateful to The Unleaded Group with creating this video for Mi Casa, which has been and will continue to be a powerful tool for fundraising and raising awareness of the agency’s important work. After two very challenging years Mi Casa Resource Center ended 2009 in strong financial position – a considerable accomplishment considering the recession and resulting dip in charitable donations. In the past few months, Mi Casa has secured several new funding streams, including a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor for Green Energy & Construction career training; a grant form the Denver Office of Economic Development to support small business development for Denver residents; and support from Target and United Launch Alliance to support programs for youth and families and to fund afterschool STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. In 2010, MI Casa will improve the quality of all of our programs and intently focus on evaluation in order to achieve the transformational impact so key to our mission of economic success for low-income families. It is because of the generous support from in-kind donors like The Unleaded Group that MI Casa is able to provide the low-income individuals we serve with new opportunities to be successful in a career, business or higher education. From all of us here at Mi Casa, THANK YOU again for your incredible support!
Sincerely, Kate Brenton Communications/Grant Manager Christine Marquez-Hudson CEO/Executive Director
