How to Write a Good Fundraising Letter

Getting your letter right is a crucial step in any fundraising campaign. You need to craft a letter that demonstrates your organization's mission, makes your reader want to support you, and convinces them to take action. Ultimately, your letter can help you convert a one-time donor to a regular contributor.


One way to make your letter memorable is to use a good story. Using a story can help your reader feel like they are making a difference and that their contribution will be effective.



Use details to illustrate your organization's impact on your community. Make sure your letters are not too long. Generally, the best length is a single page. If you have a complicated package, include typefaces, colors, and symbols that make the letter easy to read.


The best fundraising letters are a bit different from the standard letter. They often contain more information, but are short and simple. They also contain a strong crescendo and climax. They also have a clear call to action. Typically, you will be requesting a donation or signing up for a sponsorship program.


If you are a beginner, you can start by letting your content dictate the length of the letter. Your letter should be short enough to read quickly, but long enough to convey most of the information. Make sure your letter is printed on high-quality paper. It should be mailed in durable envelopes.


You may also want to include extra materials with your letter, such as information about upcoming events. Your letter should also include a direct link to your donation page.
