Subject: Supporting the CMSF — A Smart Investment for Our Industry

Hi [Boss’s Name],

I think this is worth our company’s attention. The Coordinate Metrology Society Foundation (CMSF) is a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports education, research, and scholarships in the field of coordinate metrology. As someone who works in this industry every day, I believe this is exactly the kind of investment that benefits all of us — now and in the future.

Here’s why I’m excited about it:

• The metrology workforce pipeline needs support. Skilled coordinate metrology professionals are increasingly hard to find. The CMSF directly addresses this by funding scholarships and educational programs that bring new talent into the field.
• It’s a tax-deductible contribution. As an IRS-approved 501(c)(3), donations to the CMSF are generally tax-deductible, which makes this a financially sound way to give back.
• It strengthens our industry relationships. The CMSF is backed by the Coordinate Metrology Society, the premier professional organization in our field. Supporting the Foundation puts our company alongside the industry’s most respected leaders.
• The funds are professionally managed. The CMSF has partnered with the Peninsula Community Foundation of Virginia to ensure every dollar is handled with transparency and accountability.
• I’d love to discuss this further if you’re open to it. I’m happy to put together a brief summary or answer any questions you have. Even a modest contribution would make a real difference — and signal that [Company Name] is committed to the long-term health of our industry.

  Thanks for considering it.
