SAMPLE SOLICITATION LETTER (COMMITTEE LETTERHEAD)
(DATE) (POTENTIAL DONOR)
We appreciate your consideration of underwriting for our (Your Chapter) Chapter Ducks Unlimited event on (Event Date). The money derived from this event will provide valuable funding for wetland conservation. We are a bona fide 501-c3, non-profit corporation and we depend largely upon donors like you as well as individual donations to maintain our important habitat improvement programs.
We are asking businesses like yours to underwrite these items to offset our initial cost. Contributions can be large or small and you may sponsor one or more items. The contributions may also be in the form of merchandise that we can convert into conservation dollars at the event. We will see that your company gets proper recognition during the event.
I have enclosed some literature to tell you more about Ducks Unlimited and to show you the work we have done throughout North America and (your state) for over eighty years. We have over (number) wetland projects in (your state) which our fund raising dollars have helped build. Last year, events like the one to be conducted by our (Your Chapter) chapter volunteers, raised over $(000,000) in (your state). With your help, we can be well on our way to reaching our goal for this year.
Thank you and contact me if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
SAMPLE FOLLOW UP LETTER (COMMITTEE LETTERHEAD)
(DATE)(DONOR)
Your generosity to this community and to our (your chapter) Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is gratefully appreciated. Our chapter’s efforts have raised over $(amount), and your gift has played an integral part in our annual event.
With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the largest and most effective wetland conservation organization in the world. Since the inception of Ducks Unlimited in 1937, our projects have been responsible for more than 14 million acres of restored, protected, and enhanced wetlands and other wildlife habitats. Wetlands are nature’s most productive ecosystems, but the United States has lost more than half of its original wetlands and continues to lose tens of thousands of wetland acres every year. That’s why we need the continued support of businesses like yours.
Again, we thank you for your support and invite you to participate next year.
Sincerely,
Underwriting reduces expenses of your event . Use cash gifts to offset the cost of various components of the event, i .e ., art package, guns or other event merchandise, hats, printing, facility, food .
SELECT A CHAIRPERSON FOR UNDERWRITING This is a major assignment for one who has contacts with the local business community and who can organize the underwriting effort. This includes maintaining the Underwriting Log to report success by all soliciting committee members.
• Use the Event Merchandise Catalog and Underwriting Log provided by Ducks Unlimited
• The cash underwriting target should be three times the committee cost (see catalog order form)
• Assign each solicitor a group of businesses in order to reduce overlapping contacts
SHOW THE AUCTION ITEMS TO THE PUBLICFor example, place several framed prints in a bank lobby, especially if the bank has underwritten them.
RECOGNIZE THE UNDERWRITERS• Display banners provided by the underwriter
during the event
• Put up signs bearing the underwriter’s name on or near the underwritten items
• Give the underwriter a certificate and a donor decal
• Put the underwriter’s name in the banquet program
• Send the underwriter a “thank you" note
REPORT THE UNDERWRITING CONTRIBUTION
In the appropriate space on the financial report form, report the contribution made. It will impact your overhead by lowering costs (line #7 on the Financial Report). Treat it as a negative expense, not income!
ASK EARLY, ASK OFTEN
When it comes to underwriting gifts, don’t wait.
