I need assistance writing quick and simple letters asking for donations such as gift certificates etc. from businesses for a theme basket fundraiser for a school. Is there a website?
--------------------
Introduce yourself and state your purpose. Ask for any contribution they may be able to make and state how it will be used. Offer a receipt if they need one for tax write-off purposes. "Hi, I'm (your name) and I'm a (grade level) at (school name). My (organization name) is having a fund-raiser (or say raffle, silent auction, etc.) to benefit (the organization, an outside charity, etc.) "We are asking local businesses to contribute gift certificates or other appropriate items for a theme basket that will be (auctioned, raffled, etc.) to raise funds for (specific function - school trip, the local dog shelter or whatever it's for.) "Thank you for anything you are able to contribute. Please contact me (or whomever your official contact person is) at the following (phone # or e-mail) to arrange for pickup or delivery. A tax receipt can be provided upon request." Then sign your name and title (president, secretary, etc.) if you have one. Hope that helps. Good luck with your fund-raiser.
