I listed in my previous post the various codes which parents, friends and family could use to double donations. Below is a letter I also have sent out before to parents to solicit donations. Copy and paste it into a word document and then add you Donors-Choose web address in the appropriate spot (this can be found when you log in on your account page). After that your ready to print! You would be surprised how many people may donate! Good Luck!
Dear Parents,
I am writing this letter in order to ask a huge favor from anyone who may be able to help! I have recently written and submitted some
grants through a website called DonorsChoose.org
which helps to get teachers materials and equipment they need/want for their
classrooms. At this time, I have some grants posted which are very close to being fulfilled; in fact one has only $95 left! If these grants are fulfilled, they will provide the students in our classroom several much needed items such as a (_____________). If we could receive these materials, I believe our students would be even more engaged than ever before, leading to greater learning and success! I am very excited about the possibility of receiving the items requested.
If you are able, and would like to help us get these materials into
our classroom, please visit the following website to see my project(s) and add
a donation.
You can donate as little or as
much as you choose. Even a donation as small as $5 would be greatly appreciated! It would move us one step closer
to having richer learning experiences in our room!
If you do choose to donate, please make sure to type in the matching code: CHASE, YELP or SAVINGS when
submitting your donation. With these codes, donations you make will be matched or doubled! This turns your $5
donation into $10, or a $50 dollar donation into $100!
Thank you in advance to all who will donate! I look forward to seeing our students getting access to tools they will LOVE to further their success at school!
Sincerely,
