Letter of Request for Support

Hello [INSERT NAME],

I am reaching out to share with you a resource led by Kenya Crawford — a licensed therapist and racial equity consultant. They support folks in creating healing and liberating spaces, and more recently she has begun to work on supporting folks in the DEI profession with their mental health and well-being.

As we have seen more conversations around “The Great Resignation”, “quiet quitting”, and overall burnout across the country, offerings focused on wellbeing and professional development would benefit everyone at [INSERT COMPANY NAME].

Kenya is facilitating a 5-month support group for DEI practitioners, focused on our collective healing and professional growth so that we can continue to do our best work and sustain our energy in this field long-term.

As a [insert role], I would greatly benefit from attending Cultivating Changemakers to further support my well-being while supporting the company’s equity, diversity, and inclusion mission. I would like to ask for financial support to ensure my attendance in this transformative program.

Please let me know your thoughts and potential next steps!
