Fundraising: Donation Solicitation Underwriting Contract

Three part series on fundraising donation solicitation tools

Donate

We reviewed and included a donation solicitation letter that you can use and make your own when going out and asking for donations for your live auction and silent auction. We also reviewed and included a donation solicitation contract.

Part 3: Donation Underwriting Contract

Sometimes you have a donor who doesn’t have an item to donate, but wants to underwrite a portion of your overall event. This is terrific! Having food, decor or the like donated means less you need to pay for in order to put the event on. That equates to more fundraising dollars to your charity!

But, just as we reviewed yesterday, it’s important to have contracts for all donations.

Take this Donation Underwriting Contractand make it your own. Fill out as much as you can about the donation and the donor and send it to them to approve and finalize. Use it to keep tabs on the donations you have finalized.

What tools do you use when soliciting donations?

About the author

Cynthia Greenberg

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t helping out with a fundraiser or planning a party, whether it was charity leagues in junior high school or fundraisers in high school. I pursued marketing in college as I loved how many exciting roles were covered under one umbrella. It opened the door for me to pursue PR, communications and events. I found a career that is the perfect balance of exactly who I am – creative and detailed. As a public relations and marketing/communications executive with over 15 years of experience, event planning has been at the core of much of my work. I’ve planned everything from a 2,000 person corporate gala to company retreats, charitable auctions and intimate cocktail parties. Event planning is a passion. When I’m not working my day-job as the head of PR/communications, I dedicate my time to the New York Junior League as well as other charitable organizations. (For my full bio, please see LinkedIn.) Happy to talk social and charitable events with you anytime! Drop me a line at cynthia@redcarpetrollout.com.
