Jonlesser: Starting a workspace for a donation request letter

2009-08-11T05:00:54Z

Starting a workspace for a donation request letter

New page

When soliciting donations from companies, it's customary to have a letter from the organization explaining what you're asking for. The letter should be on official letterhead and be signed by officers or board members. Things to include in the letter:
* Who is asking for the donation?
* What are you asking for? ( Be specific- not just clothing but infant clothing, or cookies and cupcakes for 50 people rather than baked goods)
* Why are you asking for this donation?
* Who will the donation benefit?
* What can the donator gain from donating to your group, club or project? (free advertisement by your posting a list of all the donators, recognition in the community if the event is in the local area and/or printed in the newspaper, a tax deduction, and donations to local groups, clubs, or projects are good for public relations and business.)
* Thank the business in advance for considering donating to your group, club, or project.
* The name and phone number of a contact person (from the group).
* Signatures – all group members, or the contact person, or “major” group members (i.e.: president, Vice President, Chairman, Board Members etc. )
