The size and location of your educational institution determine how and when your fundraising event is organised as well as its frequency in a year. A bigger institution would require a greater amount of funds.
However, no matter what your outreach is, you should always put forth the effort to present a well-crafted, efficiently written letter whenever you organize such an event. There are two kinds of education fundraising letters – those that are geared toward earning money directly, and those designed to inform, motivate and inspire the families of your students in anticipation of an upcoming event. In either case, your letter can make or break your fundraising plans, so read the tips and samples given below to write your letter.
