Fundraising Phrases

Question: I’m writing a Fundraising Letter for my intercollegiate college sports team. Any pointers?
We’re handing the letter out to local businesses. I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on what should definitely be included, useful phrases, etc. The suggestions are much appreciated. By the way, we’re not asking for large donations-a couple hundred max would be very generous-I’m not sure if that should influence how I write it or not.
Answer: What are you giving the businesses in return for their money? Will the business be listed on a poster or in a newspaper ad or on a t-shirt as a sports team sponsor? Most businesses will look at this fundraising as a form of advertising, especially because it is not normally tax deductible, so you will want to have an answer for first question: What do we get for our money?
Also, be sure to explain how the funds will be used. Are you going on a trip to a tournament? Are you buying new uniforms? Will you purchase new equipment for practices?
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer: I recommend you do a little research with the Business Opportunity Search Engine. Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide. http://www.BusinessOpportunitySearchEngine.com
