Sample Annual Fund Letter - Part 2 - The Donation Form

Ok, you have already written a beautiful letter, now you need something for people to fill out and send you money back with.

Keep it simple.

A place to check they are giving and write in their amount.  This is also an appropriate place to give suggested amounts with varying levels.  If you go with various amounts, ALWAYS give an Other option.  Bill me options are becoming popular along with small monthly donations.  Love the corporate matching gift so don't forget to remind people of it as it's not their money but a way for them to help give you even more money!  Make sure to ask how they would like their name to appear.  And of course, SAY THANK YOU.
