How do you write a fundraising letter? Key steps Start with a personalized greeting. Explain your mission. Describe your current initiative. Outline your project's needs and what you hope to accomplish. Add meaningful photographs or infographics. Show the tangible impact associated with specific donation amounts.
Write in the total fair market value of your donation. This value is determined by you, the donor. Goodwill provides a donation value guide to help determine fair market value. Please note: Goodwill employees cannot help determine fair market value.
Example 2: Individual Acknowledgment Letter Hi donor name, We're super grateful for your contribution of $250 to nonprofit's name on date received. As a thank you, we sent you a T-shirt with an estimated fair market value of $25 in exchange for your contribution.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
Craft a concise, direct donation message by clearly stating your cause, the impact of donations, and specific calls-to-action with emotional language. For example: "Your $25 gift provides a week of meals for a family in need. Text FEED to 55555 to More Meals today!"
