NLEI Annual Appeal

Dear Friend of NLEI,

The 2011 year is closing fast. Please join me in making a year-end donation to The Mary Gonzalez-Koenig Education Fund. NLEI programs are proven to break cycles of poverty affording brighter futures to individuals. Achievements made by NLEI last year were possible because of the generosity of NLEI donors: 24 students received student assistance grants and NLEI education programs enabled graduate earnings to be 33% greater on average than the living wage in Cook County, IL.

NLEI students are primarily the heads-of- household, with a median age of 27. These individuals, having exercised all they know to advance themselves, seek NLEI for the lift needed to enrich their family. They know through examples of friends and family, who are NLEI graduates, that they can secure meaningful credentials and gainful employment, and trust NLEI to cultivate their innate desire to achieve their potential.

Your support is of great value! Your contribution supports programs that deliver sustainable self-sufficiency for families.

Please give what you can to The Mary Gonzalez-Koenig Education Fund. NLEI is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization allowing your contribution a tax-deduction. For your convenience, you may choose to process your contribution via PayPal by clicking on the DONATE button below, or you may mail your contribution to NLEI Holiday Appeal, 2011 West Pershing Road, Chicago, IL 60609.

Sincerely,

Elba Aranda-Suh
