Dear Utah Foster Care,

The [INSERT NAME OF YOUR TRIBE] is honored to write a letter in support of Utah Foster Care’s initiative to find and nurture American Indian/Alaska Native foster families in the State of Utah. Our Indian children are our most valuable asset and we highly support statewide efforts to improve the delivery of services and to ensure that our Indian children and culture are preserved and protected.

To further show our support, [INSERT NAME OF YOUR TRIBE] has also passed the enclosed tribal resolution and will donate an amount of [INSERT DONATION AMOUNT] [INDICATE IF DONATION IS ONE-TIME, QUARTERLY, ANNUALLY, etc.] to Utah Foster Care's, American Indian/Alaska Native fund. We understand that these funds shall promote:

	1) Initiatives and programs to increase the number of American Indian/Alaska Native foster homes,
	
	2) Training for American Indian/Alaska Native families and community partners, 
	
	3) Eliminating barriers that prevent potential American Indian/Alaska Native homes from becoming eligible for foster care, and
	
	4) Special needs of foster families and American Indian/Alaska Native children in care. 
	
Please add our Tribe to the list of donors who support this work and tell the government, private donors, and others that the (INERT NAME OF YOUR TRIBE) is backing Utah Foster Care — and we highly encourage others to do the same. 

They say it takes a community to raise and Indian child and together we can make a difference. Feel free to contact our Tribe at [INSERT PHONE NUMBER] and [E-MAIL OF CONTACT] should you have any questions regarding this letter. 

Sincerely,

[INSERT NAME]
