Writing a Fund-Raising Appeal
Write a 2%- to 4-page letter to raise money from new donors for an organization you support. You must use a real organization, but it does not actually have to be conducting a fund-raising drive now. Assume that your letter would have a reply card and postage-paid envelope. You do NOT have to write these, but DO refer to them in your letter.
Options for organizations include
Tax-deductible charitable organizations-religious organizations; hospitals; groups working to feed, clothe, and house poor people.
Lobbying groups-Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the National Abortion Rights Action League, the National Rifle Association, groups working against nuclear weapons, etc.
Groups raising money to fight a disease or fund research.
Colleges trying to raise money for endowments, buildings, scholarships, faculty salaries.
For this assignment, you may also use groups which do not regularly have fund-raising drives but which may have special needs. Perhaps a school needs new uniforms for its band. Perhaps a sorority or fraternity house needs repairs, remodeling, or expansion.
