My daughter has cystic fibrosis...so we are getting to be old pros at fundraising.  The easiest and least confrontational method that we have used has been letter writing campaigns.  Write out a letter that lets people know who you are and what you need.  Be personal but not too personal.  Tell about the camp and what a great thing it will be for her and what kind of positive changes it will bring about in her life.  If she is old enough have her write at least part of the letter and make the copies in her handwriting...it makes it more personal to the people who will read it.  When asking for money from people you don't know in this way it makes people much more confident if they are able to write out the check directly to the place that is going to recieve it (Camp Shane) rather than the person writing the letter.  When you send out the letters include a self addressed and stamped envelope so that all they have to do is put the check in the mail...no looking for stamps or trying to find your address.  Mail letters to all family, friends, local organizations, and don't forget places like Walmart (they write off charitible donations).\n\nThis is my favorite method for fundraising because it pains me to ask people for money personally.  This is how we do the CF walk fundraising every year and this year we made $2000 this way.\n\nAfter people send checks don't forget to send them thank you letters...you will be amazed at the people who show their generosity.

Yes, i think many people would donate - one thing i have\ndiscovered is that no one will donate if they don't know\nthat you are out there, so ADVERTISE!  Maybe in stores,\nchurches, daycare centers, etc. - with a flyer (min.cost)\nand you will probably get loads of responses!\n\nGood luck - great idea - many families to appreciate your\nefforts!

Start with Dear Sir/Madame.  Then go into a brief explanation of what the Homestead Job Corp. is. Then  explain what you would like to do and ask if there is anyway that they (the business you contact) can help.  Usually most business like to have at least 30 days  or more to decide if they want to make a donation.So include a deadline for responce or get business cards and follow-up in a couple of weeks.)  Print the letter on Homstead Job Corp. letter head paper and make sure you include a phone number for them to rach you if they have any questions.  I have collected donations over the years for our conferences and some places are generoud while others are not.  A starting place would be businesses in you neighborhood perhaps once that you contribute to like grocery stores, office supplies.  Oh.. and ask your city and state government officials to give donations.  Also the school board members like to make donations to such a worthy cause.  Good luck!

How to Write a Thank-You Note\n\n\n\nYou can fill even short thank-you notes with appreciation and meaning. And remember, 'better late than never' applies'the recipient will always enjoy your thanks.\n \n \nSteps:\n1.  Mention the gift, favor or party you attended.\n \n2.  Talk about the appropriateness of the gift or favor: 'Your baby-sitting for my children has truly been a lifesaver in these difficult times.' (You can describe a gift that didn't quite suit your taste as 'a conversation piece' or 'unique.')\n \n3.  Tie the appropriateness of the gift to the person who gave it to you: 'You've always understood my taste in clothes.'\n \n4.  Talk about how you plan to use the gift (or substitute this step for step 2): 'I have a picture of my parents that would look perfect in your frame.' If you received a gift of money, mention how you will spend it.\n \n5.  Add a small personal note to update the giver about your life: 'I have completely recovered from my cold and plan to hit the slopes again as soon as I can.'\n \n6.  Consider sending a token of appreciation along with your note if you're thanking someone for a good deed. Possibilities include flowers, chocolate or an invitation to lunch (your treat).

None!  God doesn't need your money.  Want to donate something?  Donate blood, give old clothes to the salvation army, donate your time to a shelter or program like Big Brothers/Big Sisters...you will make a much more positive impact than throwing your money into a plate to cover the church's light bill.

State grants. Neighbors. Ask businesses to donate. They love that! Makes them feel they are part of their customers lives and that is so very important to them, as that is where their money is. In the pockets of the people who will be using the donations and that gets them more business and respect as well as do not forget to send each business a thankyou card on behalf of the community for their help.

You can also request a copy of the document directly from the charity or nonprofit organization - they are required to disclose it.  Some may have it available on the web.
