Question

I need help writing a donation letter for Macy's Day Parade Trip?

Answer 1

What type of donation are you needing?  What organization are you needing donations for?  Will it be a tax deduction?  You need the answers to these before you can start writing your letter.  I would do a generic letter that can be passed out to several people/corporations.  Start it with something like Dear Sir/Madam. As for the body of the letter I would explain why you are needing the donation, how it will help, how the group will benefit and if the donation will be a tax deduction.  I would also include a little information on the group and the back ground of the group need the information.  So something like this:

Dear Sir/Madame:

  I am writing you today on behalf of the ________ organization.  Our organization has been around for X amount of years and benefits children/adults of the community by providing these services.  Each year we take a trip to the Macy’s Day Parade (or each year we participate in the parade).  This year we are seeking the help of corporations and individuals in the community by seeking monetary donations to help us fund our trip.  By providing a donation you will be helping some deserving person by proving them with the funds to attend/participate in the parade.  The people in our organization will benefit by________.  Of course all donations to the organization are a tax deduction.  If you would like to donate please send donations to

Thank you for your donation we appreciate your dedication to the community and your desire to help provide such a wonderful opportunity for our group.

Sincerely,

Of course you need to fill in the blanks and add your own information, but this should get you started.  Good luck and have a great time!
