When writing fundraising letters don't go overboard with extremely detailed numbers and jargon that the reader may not be familiar with. Remember to focus on information that is relevant and compelling to the potential reader.
6. Personalization - If you are writing a fundraising letter to a specific donor, include specific information related to them. If it's a repeat donor, discuss ways that his or her previous contributions have made a difference in your organization.


Use singular word forms, not plural - avoid words and phrases like "some of you" when addressing the reader. Instead use the personal, singular form "you." This mirrors the way that the letter will be read by the recipient.

2. Be Specific - When writing fundraising letters the more specific you can be, the better your message will be understood and the greater the response rate. Ask your reader to make a specific response, such as a donation of money, goods or services. You can offer several specific dollar amounts include a specific date that you need the response by.
4. Descriptive Phrases - Use the most descriptive adjectives and adverbs in your letter to clarify your message. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when writing fundraising letters be especially careful not to over embellish or exaggerate.

Here are 7 strategies to use when writing fundraising letters so they are more interesting, compelling and responsive.
