Donation Thank You Letter
A thank you letter in response to a donation is recommended to inspire the donor and show your gratitude for the kind contribution. It is also a great opportunity for you to share your or your organization’s plans for using the money and giving the donor the assurance that it will be put to good use.
Like any other thank you letter, your tone and language matters here as you aim to convey your gratitude along with a message.

Dear Mr. Wilson,
It is with gratitude that I write this letter to thank you for your kind gesture and contribution to our cause. As you already know, we work towards the rehabilitation of missing children, providing homes, education and teaching them life skills so that they are able to walk with the rest of us.
Your contribution for Save the Missing Children will be used to rent out a new building in the vicinity of our existing housing unit and should be sufficient for the next 6 months. During this time, we estimate to house at least 35 more missing children, which is no small achievement.
Over the years, our mission has seen ups and downs, but it is due to the generosity of supporters and donors like you that we continue to move ahead and serve.
I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you for a dance competition we will be having this weekend for our housed children. We will be honored by your attendance. Kindly write back to let us know if you are interested and we will arrange the rest for you.
Once again, our whole team thanks you and sends you the best of wishes.
Looking forward to seeing you at the event.
Regards,
Ms. Katherine George
