Persuasive Letter To Giving Pledge

I would like to begin this letter by thanking you. I want to thank you for choosing to sign on to the Giving Pledge, as choosing to part with a large percentage of your fortune one day to help those less fortunate than you is a decision that not every person in your position would make and it deserves acknowledgment. In this process, one of the very important steps is deciding where specifically you want to allocate certain percentages of this money. Surely, there are many worthy causes that could benefit from the money that you have the opportunity to use to help people. Taking into account the statement in your Giving Pledge letter about wanting your money to bring new ideas to life. I believe the best thing you can do with the money you

It was while reading your letter to the Giving Pledge that I realized this cause could really appeal to you. In your letter, you mention that you “want to enable as many people as possible, especially in underprivileged communities” to experience the same realization of their innovative ideas that you were fortunate enough to experience with ideas in your own life. Unfortunately, the case tends to be that people are not born with these ideas, but that these ideas form in people as a result of them being in an environment where they actually have the opportunity to get to a place in their life where they posses the ability to have this idea due to the background or environment that encouraged them.

I want to present you with this opportunity to give to the kids that are in this situation because the best way to contribute to as many children as possible realizing their innovative ideas is to contribute to the environment that they all share. Education is a unique cause because it is transformative. If you were to affect the

Not only would you be improving their environments and the environments you have experienced that lack diversity, you would be standing up for the future of these kids when even their own government hasn’t invested in the importance of public education. The importance being that the majority of kids attend public school and a lot of those same kids become the people deciding what is important in the future, they deserve to be informed. In an article for The Washington Post, investigative reporter Emma Brown, details that “funding for college work-study programs would be cut in half, public-service loan forgiveness would end and hundreds of millions of dollars that public schools could use for mental health, advanced coursework and other services would vanish under a Trump administration plan to cut $10.6 billion from federal education initiatives” (Brown). This is part of a stance the government is taking on education at the moment, a movement towards the privatization of education. Despite backing from Trump, there is discussion around the fact that this might not be what is best for the majority of kids. Samuel Abrams, author and school privatization professional, details some of his thoughts on the movement for privatization and how it affects the kids in a 2016 interview with The Washington Post. After discussing that outsourcing can
