Re: 4th Annual LLI Dinner Dance Fundraiser
Q1 2017 14.2
Dear Ms. Sheldon,
The Latino Educational Training Institute would like to thank the Tulalip Tribes Charitable
Contributions for their generous support of the 4th Annual Latino Leadership Initiative Dinner
Dance Fundraiser. With your support we were able to conduct our most successful LLI event to
date. With over just over $21,000 in event revenue and donations we were able to put on a well-
received event, provide $6,000 in scholarships to the LLI program graduates, as well as put the
LLI program into a solid position moving into the 2018 cohort. Over 300 Latinos in South
Snohomish County were impacted.
Your generous support allowed us to perform the largest event marketing effort to date, securing
attendees for all 160 available seats. Additionally your support helped to increase our event ROI
from 130% to 210%, putting this event well ahead of our target and in line with industry
standards for a “mature” fundraising effort.
Once again we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the generous donation from the
Tulalip Tribes Charitable Contributions. It is with the support of partners like yourselves that
small non-profit organizations like LETI are able to deliver quality programs to further the
success of the local Latino community.
Sincerely,
Rosario Reyes
Founder and Executive Director

Community Project Goal: The main goal of the program was to mentor middle school Latino children and educate them about overcoming challenges, encouraging higher education, and developing them as future leaders.
About the program: The mentoring program, “Leadership FUEGO!” enabled Edmonds Community College Latino students to mentor Latino children at Meadowdale Middle School. The LLI mentors networked with school officials, reached out to parents and students, and covered many subjects including: self-improvement, identity development, social justice advocacy, financial aid assistance for college, resources, career development, community engagement, etc. The LLI mentors themselves developed leadership/mentoring skills by creating the structured Leadership FUEGO! Program with a syllabus, and presenters on many subjects. The LLI mentors met with the middle school children for an hour, twice weekly, over an eight-week period. The Leadership FUEGO! Program culminated with the LLI mentors awarding certificates to the middle school students for their participation in the program. The LLI mentors have created a legacy that will continue with future Latino children in our community.

Overview of Community Project Goal: Organize and implement outreach to High School Students at two high schools. Research and develop material and information on scholarships, access and resident/non-resident status to provide to high school students. Develop and share mentee personal stories to deepen the awareness of high school students. About the program: The mentees’ ambitious and successful outreach program titled Más Tenaz was based on interacting and providing information to high school students at two different high schools within the SVC district. At one site, the strategies included setting up tables and materials to engage students in discussion. At another site, the mentees presented in four regular sessions with students in the After-School ELL Class and the Homework Club. Topics varied at the two sites and included the following: how to prepare an application for SVC, how to identify and participate in meaningful volunteer activities (those that are look-on favorably in the application process), how to understand resident/non-resident status and immigrant rights. In addition, the mentees prepared and used their own personal experiences and stories to explain how to make progress in student life and the college entrance process. The mentees were creative in dividing responsibilities and forming a mentee group for each high school to use their time and availability to the greatest advantage. They met the challenge of having an impact on students who attend high school in two different counties.

Overview of Community Project Goal: Provide information to students and parents about college attendance, financial aid and immigration. An immigration attorney volunteered his time to give legal advice. About the program: This program was created to provide information to students and parents regarding a college education. We created an event for parents and students called "Educate" based on a survey done at Everett High School. The event had three different sessions: Financial Aid, Running Start and Immigration Rights. In order to publicize the event, a flyer in Spanish & English was created and mailed. Also, we distributed flyers at Mexican Stores, to invite people to attend personally. When planning the event, we took into consideration what is culturally appropriate in the Latino community. Therefore, we made decorations, provided food, childcare, took pictures and had prizes like gift cards, as well as offering three free legal consultations on immigration. To evaluate the effectiveness of the project, we handed out surveys before and after the event. Taking in consideration the level of interest shown, we would like to follow-up with additional events for parents and students on these important topics.
