It's that time of the year RELAY SEASON! This is the time of the year my blog and pinterest pages go wild with new views, and I spend a lot of time visiting communities and getting them all set for an amazing year.
You may have noticed that you are not getting the response you have gotten in precious years by asking for donations on Facebook. If you haven't read it yet- this blog post explains why that is happening. It is more important than EVER that you are actually writing and sending out fundraising letters.
Most of you have awesome staff that bring you pre written letters that you can send out- BUT GUYS. What would entice you more to donate- a personal letter, or one that is pre done?
I know that it is hard to figure out where to start, and what to include in a letter, so I have made up some easy to use work sheets to help you through the process. Feel free to print these and take them to your team meetings or event meeting to share.
Step one- fill out this worksheet!
Step two- use this letter format to transform your answers into a letter!
Here is an example of what your finished product could look like!
That was easy, right?
While I have you here, let me fill you in
on this awesome little tip. For some reason, when I include a self
addressed envelope, I get more donations back! So take the extra time
to do that to- it just takes a few minutes!
Need more letter ideas? Check out some of ours from previous years here!
With HOPE,
Cassi
