Fundraising Appeal Letter
Without any doubt, charity does begin at home and there is no reason for keeping it just at home. Those who are powerful and influential must realise that their success is coupled with ten folds of responsibility. There comes a point in their life when they have to pay back to the society what it has given them. At each point in life, the society has become the agent in one form or the other to let you take the higher step on the ladder which many and more are trying to climb.
In this world where two sorts of people live; those who need the help and those who give it, the latter needs to understand the significance of aiding others. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and get to progress with those who have hearts big enough to provide for others.
In reality, this practice begins when we are very young, school going kids. In case you were the one who sat in the front row and took all the notes very carefully then it is your notes that everyone is holding right before entering the examination hall. However, back then we did not need serious and formal letters for getting help!!
In the first paragraph, one should introduce himself/herself and also the organisation. Next, mention clearly that what sort of assistance is it that you require. In the end, let the receiver know that how will the contribution help.

Dear Mr. Flight,
Sir, as you must have understood after reading the name on the envelope, we are the fundraising foundation that has been around since the past four decades. We have been arranging events on and off for facilitating the orphans and provide for them through such activities.
Your donations for the food and lighting are highly awaited and needed. In case that does come through your end, then all our marketing material will bear your sponsorship, your name and logo.
If it suits you, your representative can also deliver a speech on the importance of foundations such as ours.
It will be two weeks from now that we will hold the fundraising event and will be waiting for your response in that regard.
The returns will be put for the playground proposals that we have in mind for the orphans.
Hoping for assistance from your end,
Sincerely,
Roger Francis
