  • 1.  Donor acknowledgement letter

    Posted 05-12-2025 04:50 AM

    Our sanctuary just completed it's second annual golf outing fundraiser. One of our silent auction donors asked us for a donor acknowledgement letter. This is the first time we've been asked for this by a donor.  Does anyone have a template for one that they would like to share?

    I have attached  a letter we used to acknowledge Sponsors for our annual walkathon. Perhaps you can edit it to fit your needs?

    A great tool I have discovered is DonorPerfect - an AI assisted means to help non-profits create effective communications with their followers/donors. It is absolutely free for use by any non-profit.

    Good luck!

    I have an A5 design with a photo of a kitten and  text over, with the italic text being updated for the kitten in the photo - I try and refresh those each year.  In fact, need to do that again. The donor is sent it as a PDF. These have been really well received.

    If it needs a more personalised touch, I write a fuller letter on the back, take off the 'with love & purrs' from front and put on back.

    Thank you!

    Your gift will help us save more kittens like Hoshi – found as a tiny baby beside her dead mother. We couldn't do this work without your kindness.

    With love and purrs,

    I love that idea and the "with love and purrs". We sign our correspondence with "thank you from your Farmhouse family"
