This donation letter example is used for the solicitation of donations to a school for the gifted.
Dear Ms. Daisy:
The Jim Carrie School for the Gifted has been presented with a rare and wonderful opportunity. An anonymous donor has offered us a 1-to-2 matching grant, based on our ability to raise donations.
You were such a strong supporter of the school in our time of crisis last year. We are turning to you now in hopes of enlisting your support. Basically, for every $2 you give, the donor will donate $1.
Thanks to your past support, we have brought the school out of the red. We have greatly broadened our donor base and are no longer dependent on a few benefactors. However, there is still much that remains to be done –the salaries of our teachers remain relatively low compared to the national average and our facilities are in need of major renovation and maintenance.
Help us make the most of this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Recommendations
