Successful Fundraising Letter

Introduction

‘Fundraising’ is the process of gathering funds or other sources in the form of donations or contributions either from individuals, companies or governmental organisation. Fundraising is the efforts of recognised individuals, religious groups and other communities of the society throughout the world. A number of trusts, youth groups and non-governmental organisations run campaigns to raise funds for the welfare of the deprived classes or for needy people of the society.

A fundraising letter can be written for various reasons, but the main purpose of writing a letter is to obtain money for charity works which include relief for natural calamities, some social issues, humanitarian and many other purposes. Many times the letter is written to fund the political campaign. Whatever be the reasons for writing a fundraising letter, its only aim is to help the needy with the raised funds. The purpose of writing a fundraising letter is to ask to contribute or help in the fundraising campaign. The letter should be written in a very polite and professional tone with the clear intention of raising fund.
