If you have multiple groups (perhaps people who are regular donors, people who have never given to you before, current volunteers, etc) you may want to customize a letter for each group.\nMake your letter personal and authentic.\nCALL TO ACTION: This is a critical part of your letter. It needs to be clear to the recipient what action you are asking them to take after reading your letter. You will want to include something like, “Will you help us reach our $______ goal by making a $25 donation today? Your $25 will provide art supplies for 2 students participating in Creative Arts Camp.”  You can also say something like:\n\"We hope you'll consider making a $10, $20 or $50 donation today to help us reach this goal.\"\n\"Any amount you're comfortable donating will make a difference and be greatly appreciated!\"\n\"A donation of $20 or $30 will make a big difference in someone's life.\"\nThe goal of the letter is to help donors connect with your cause in a meaningful way. You want them to clearly see how their donation will create a positive impact and make a difference.\nPhotos are great! Use as many photos and images as possible to communicate your work.\nBe sure you have a clear ask and call to action.\nHeader: Your Logo, Letterhead, or photo collage\nDear (First Name),\nInsert an opening statement about the cause or challenge you are working to solve. Set the stage for why your work is important to your community. Example: A lack of access to affordable housing creates a burden for individuals and families in Carbon County every day. People are left to make tough decisions about allocating their paychecks for rent, groceries, and other necessities. One unexpected expense can create significant long-term challenges.\nPlaceholder for Photo\nInsert your organization’s name and a statement about how you are actively working to address the challenge above. Example: The Red Lodge Area Community Foundation is working to create solutions to the current housing crisis through its Owner-Built Housing Program. The Owner Built Housing Program empowers qualified applicants to build their own homes, and the homes of their neighbors, with assistance from relatives, friends, and their community- making the dream of home ownership a reality. Four homes are scheduled to be built in 2023, but we need your help to accomplish this!\nCALL TO ACTION: This is where you will make a specific ask to your potential donor. See above examples in the notes for a variety of ways to word your ask. Please note, the dollar amounts below are just examples- Customize based on what makes sense for your organization.\nADD A MEANINGFUL QUOTE ABOUT YOUR WORK, A STATEMENT ABOUT YOUR FUNDRAISING GOAL AND WHAT REACHING IT WILL HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH, OR A RELEVANT AND POWERFUL STATISTIC\n(Insert your organization name) is participating in the 20th Annual Fun Run For Charities Event on September 2nd in Red Lodge. Will you help us reach our fundraising goal of $6,000 that will (insert what you will be using the Fun Run funds to accomplish) by making a donation today? A $25 donation will (provide example), and a $50 donation will (provide example). Every donation makes a difference! (If this is being emailed, include the direct link to donate. If it is mailed, you can include the QR code information and mailing instructions. Make it as easy and convenient for your donors to give.\nYour generous support brings us one step closer to achieving our mission of (insert mission and/or vision). Add one more statement about what it looks like when you reach your goal. What impact occurs?\nThe Fun Run For Charities Event recognizes the many organizations that make our community thrive. I hope you will join me in celebrating and supporting the way","cbCaiqaZRq3KLVxF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqaZRq3KLVxF","docx",23927,"English","# Fundraising appeal letter structure\n## Audience tone and personalization\n## Call to action and donation asks\n## Header and greeting\n## Organization background and challenge\n## Fundraising goal, impact, and giving instructions\n## Closing and sign-off","[{\"question\":\"How should the letter match different donor audiences?\",\"answer\":\"Customize the tone and wording for groups such as regular donors, first-time donors, and current volunteers.
