Fundraisers are important to churches and other non profit organization. This is what they rely on to bring in funds for supplies or to support the amount of rent that it costs to stay in the building that they are in. Without donations from the people in the town they will be gone in a heartbeat and the orphans or the medically ill or whomever they are trying to help will be without anyone to guide them and to be there for them.

It is one thing to come up with different non profit fundraising ideas, but a whole other thing to bring in people that will be willing to donate their money to the cause that you are fighting for. The first thing that you will have to do is get a list of names of the people who are influential in the town or city that you are living in. Who control a lot of the trade where you live? What name or names do people know the most?

Once you have a list of these names you will be able to create the fundraising solicitation letter. This is a letter of intent that will explain to everyone what you are trying to do and what type of company you have. Explain to them why you are approaching them, who they can help, and what they can benefit from donating money to the cause.

These types of letters need to be professional in every way, but also they need to be engaging. Try to send them out to the person's business rather than their home. After all this is another form of business for them. When you send them the letter explain that you could help to provide advertising or that this donation is tax deductible.

You should also explain to them that it would be ideal for them to come to the fundraising event, but not necessary. If they have other plans then they can simply donate money and mail it into your office. That way they never have an excuse not to give something back to the cause.
