It is not in a single person's capacity to help all the needy. There are millions who cannot even afford the basic necessities to lead a life. Thanks to non-profit organizations which are working for underprivileged. What makes these organizations to carry the social work is the donation offered by generous people. The donation offered may not necessarily be in a cash form. The contribution for a good cause can be made by donating product and through voluntary services. If you are with a non-profit organization and asked by the trust to raise a donation, writ an appeal letter that can excite people to be generous and contribute for a social cause.
The main thing about writing a donation appeal letter is that it must make people to contribute. The letter must encourage people to come forward and execute their social responsibilities. It should have a personal touch with a formal tone. You must provide information on how their donation would be utilized for people in need. This will ensure the readers that you genuinely wants to work for the cause.
Just make the letter into three paragraphs. The first paragraph must introduce the writer and the organization. State the reason and type of donation in the second one, mention how it is going to be used and thank the readers and request their support in the last one.

February 14, 2014 Marcus K. Burns Sub: Appeal for Donation Dear Sir, I am writing this letter to you in the capacity of the chairman of a non-profit government organization 'Angels'. Our organization was established with a mission to help blind children obtain education, employment and better living. In the last ten years since our inception, we have helped thousands of people who cannot see in various ways. It was possible only because of generous people like you contributing for this noble cause. "Angels" has founded three elementary schools, two high schools and one college. It has ensured all blind students should not be deprived of quality education. Besides academic, we are also helping students in sports, music and arts. The scope of our work is ever increasing and we are trying to serve the society in even more effective ways. Our proposed projects like charity hospital for the poor blind people and a call center for sightless students fully equipped with the Braille computer system have been impeded due to lack of funds. You are known to be a generous donor in the city and have always provided financial support to many NGOs. I, therefore, request you to donate some amount to support our noble cause for empowering the blind. We would appreciate your donation and keep giving you the feedback of the work done with the amount donated by you. We are sure you won't disappoint us. Thousands of blinds would be grateful to you if the needful is done. Eagerly awaiting a positive response from you. Please make the donation in check only as we don't accept cash. Sincerely yours, Ashok Dwiveja |
