Fundraising Letter Writing Guide
Inspire generosity through compelling donor communication

Mission-Driven Storytelling

Effective fundraising letters tell emotionally resonant stories that connect donors to your mission and impact. Storytelling should be authentic, specific, and supported by concrete examples of how donations create real change.

Donor-Centered Approach

Center the donor as the hero of the impact story. Show how donors make change possible and how their contributions directly support meaningful outcomes.

Clear Call-to-Action

Provide clear, specific donation requests with suggested giving levels and simple response options. Reduce friction in donation process through clear instructions and multiple giving channels.

Fundraising Letter Best Practices

Credibility Building

Include organizational credentials, transparency information, and third-party validation that builds donor trust and confidence.

Timely Follow-Up

Thank donors promptly and report back on impact, maintaining ongoing relationships that support long-term giving.

Fundraising Letter Common Mistakes
