Greetings:
We are writing to update you on our outreach plans for the New York Public Interest Research
Group Fund Inc. (NYPIRG) this summer.
NYPIRG, as you may know, is a non-partisan corporation organized in 1976 under the New
York State Not-For-Profit Corporation Law. NYPIRG's areas of concern include consumer
protection, environmental preservation and several other public policy issues. As a charitable
organization, NYPIRG files annual financial reports under the provisions of New York
Executive Law, Article 7-A, with the Secretary of State. NYPIRG has been issued a
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). Contributions to
NYPIRG are tax deductible.
We anticipate conducting our door-to door outreach in your community for a brief period
between May 1 and August 31. Our activities will entail circulating support statements,
soliciting small contributions, distributing information and recruiting support (letters, calls,
participation) on a variety of issues of concern to the community. Your office and local police
will receive a list of our employees' names, identification numbers and addresses before we
begin working in your community. As always, we will coordinate our outreach activities with
those of other organizations so as to ensure we are contacting residents in the most professional
manner.
This letter represents part of our commitment to cooperating fully with local municipalities while
we're conducting our outreach efforts. Toward that end, I ask that you please send me written
confirmation of receipt of this letter for our files. If you have any questions or need more
information, do not hesitate to call me at (212) 349-7474.
Sincerely,
Josh Pilkington
State Outreach Director
