Sample Fundraising Letter: Campaign Support Donation Request

Is there an important law pending in your community? Will your neighbors and colleagues soon be voting on an important regulation that will raise money for school or road improvements? If you want to help make sure the proposed regulation passes, you might want to consider getting involved with raising money for the campaign effort. A well-written fundraising letter can have a major impact on how effectively the campaign will be able to get the word out to voters.

Later this year, the citizens of [name of community] will have an opportunity to vote to authorize much needed improvements to our [what will be improved] system.

Any amount of financial support you’re able to commit will play an important role in educating the citizens of [community] about this important voting opportunity.
