If you’re planning a fundraiser or any other event and looking for donations, here is a simple template you can use to write a letter asking for donations from businesses.
Dearest [name],
I am very proud to inform you that our community is organizing a large fund-raising project. Unfortunately, it is so large that our current funds won’t be enough to cover the expenses. As a result, we are kindly asking for your donations. This project will be one that everyone will remember for many years to come.
No matter how much you decide to give, we will appreciate it. Even if it is small, a little help would certainly go a long way in making things happen. If ever you have any questions about the project or how to donate, please know that my phone lines are always open.
Truly yours,
[name]
