 Sample Fundraising Letter: Request for Construction Donation

Has your organisation outgrown its current facility? Does your charity need to build a new office building or space to serve clients? If so, you probably need to raise a significant amount of money before you can get started. While you're likely to need to hold several fundraising drives in order to reach your goal, one of the first things you need to do is send out construction donation request letters to those who have supported your charity in the past.
