Sample Donation Request Letter

A Donation Request Letter is a personalized message sent by the charitable organization to the potential donor asking the latter to contribute funds or valuable items for the specific charitable cause, event, or auction. Whether you have met the recipient of the letter before or you are reaching out to strangers, whether you are writing to individuals or companies that may be interested in financing your charity, you need to compose a persuasive yet polite invitation to donate.

A Sample Donation Request Letter can be found through the link below. Although you may use a template as it is, consider adding a personal touch to any donation request you make - greet the recipient of the letter, explain who you are and why you are writing to them, describe the reason for collecting funds or items of value, refer to your previous communication or donations they have made in the past, and underline the importance of financial support you receive from your donors. It is a good idea to attach a brochure to tell the prospective donor more about your charitable efforts and include your bank account details in case they are prepared to donate immediately.
