When writing a letter asking for a donation you will need to be clear on your intent. If you are soliciting money then you need to state how the money will be used. If asking for items then you will need to state who will benefit from the donation. Tell them why the donation is necessary and what it will mean to your organization. If you are a non-profit organization, make sure to mention that
. their donation is tax deductible. Be pleasant and polite when asking for donations. For more info you can visit http://www.fundraiserhelp.com/fundraising-letters.htm.
