Funding - Letter to Your Principal
If you’re seeking funds to purchase Merge 3D for your classroom or school, oftentimes the best place to start is by asking school leadership if there is funding available in your local or school district budget.
Some of the best contacts to determine existing available funds at the local level may include your Principal, Curriculum Director, STEM Director, Technology Coordinator, Librarian, or Media Specialist. Initial discussions may be in person, but continue the process with a follow-up email that includes a summary of your conversation and additional important information.

Dear Principal -----,
Steve Irwin, nicknamed The Crocodile Hunter, and one of the greatest all-around nontraditional teachers wrote, “I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.”
That’s how I’m feeling after finding and learning about the Merge 3D platform! The Merge 3D Learning and Creation Platform will bring complex concepts to life for our students. It provides a vast library of curriculum-aligned interactive 3D objects, simulations and future-ready creation tools – and they’re all accessible from a web browser. There’s no specialized hardware required - just powerful 3D learning and creating on every student device.
It’s imperative that our students (especially our at-risk students), have feasible opportunities to learn through interactive experiences. To be excited and passionate about science, STEM and other subjects requires providing high-quality authentic learning tools. As you know, it takes more than just pictures and words in a textbook or expensive physical learning aids. Merge 3D can bring to life topics such as the Earth’s core, anatomy of a frog, DNA structure, the solar system, and many more. These hands-on digital teaching aids and simulations will help us achieve improved science scores, and actively engage students in a creative learning experience that will result in increased retention and allows for wonder and excitement to grow in the classroom.
And the future-ready creation tools by Merge provide a 3D creation pipeline built for classrooms. With Merge, we can empower students in any class with AI assisted 3D model generation, scanning, and creation tools.
I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss purchasing the Merge 3D platform to help the team reach our goals in educating our students. I will be prepared with a plan to incorporate Merge 3D in our curriculum, including a demonstration, an implementation and assessment timeline, and a budget in consideration of our discussing possible funding sources. I request that you include others in the meeting that may be integral partners in helping secure funds for this exciting resource.
I look forward to hearing from you soon to schedule this meeting. I anticipate we would need approximately 30-45 minutes for the demonstration, presentation and discussion.
Thank you,
Your Name
