Sample Fundraising Letter
Dear [Insert Name]: I am writing to let you know about an exciting event that the Pennsylvania Campaign for Microbicides is planning this fall, and ask you for your support. As you can see in the attached description, the “Giving Women Power Over AIDS” exhibit gives the global HIV epidemic a human face. It is often hard to know how to respond the overwhelming catastrophe of AIDS. Microbicides, a range of different products that can prevent the sexual transmission of HIV when applied topically, are one answer – one concrete thing we can do. Scientists estimate that even a 60% effective microbicide could prevent 2.5 million HIV infections in three years among women, men and children in the developing world. But these lives will not be saved if citizens do not get involved. Since microbicide research depends on government leadership and investment, public support is vital. This fall, the Pennsylvania Campaign for Microbicides is bringing the “Giving Women Power Over AIDS” exhibit to Philadelphia to increase awareness about the national and global HIV/AIDS epidemic and to build support for microbicides – a simple idea that could change the landscape of HIV prevention and give women power over AIDS. The exhibit will be at the [Location] on [date and time]. The Global Campaign for Microbicides has already committed $3,000 to us for hosting the exhibit. This budget does not include all of the funds necessary to host our evening reception; we need your help to cover the cost. We hope you will help by co-sponsoring the event with an [in kind contribution of….] with a monetary contribution. Please let me know if you have any questions about the exhibit or about how you can get involved. Thank you in advance for your support of this project. Sincerely, [Your Name] [organizational affiliation] Sample Speaker Invitation Letter
Dear Senator Corzine, On behalf of the Pennsylvania Campaign for Microbicides, I would like to thank you for your demonstrated leadership in the field of women’s health and microbicides. I would also like to cordially invite you to be the keynote speaker at an exciting event that we are planning on October 28th in Philadelphia. As you can see in the attached description, the “Giving Women Power Over AIDS” exhibit gives the global HIV epidemic a human face. It is often hard to know how to respond to the catastrophe of AIDS. Microbicides, a range of different products that can prevent the sexual transmission of HIV when applied topically, are one answer – one concrete thing we can do. This fall, Pennsylvania Campaign for Microbicides has the honor of being the first group to show this exhibit in an effort to increase awareness about the national and global HIV epidemic and to build support for microbicide research and development. The exhibit will be at the [Location] on [date and time]. We would really appreciate your participation to help make this event a success A member of the Pennsylvania Campaign will be contacting your office in the coming days to answer any questions you may have and to talk to you a bit more about your potential involvement in the host committee. Thank you in advance for your support of this project. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Pennsylvania Campaign for Microbicides] Security and InsuranceAs you consider venues for the exhibit, it is important to think about how secure the space will be during the day, in the evenings, and overnight. In some cases, it may be helpful to have volunteers available both to answer questions and to keep an eye on the exhibit. In other cases, the venue may already have a security guard or someone else who can watch out for vandalism. It is important to consider whether the exhibit location will be secure / locked overnight. The Global Campaign has insurance that covers the transport, storage, and viewing of the exhibit. Some venues may require liability insurance for events. The Global Campaign will not separately cover the cost of additional liability insurance, so you should include those costs in your grant proposal or find in-kind contributions. It is important to inquire whether or not your venue will require this before you finalize your grant proposal. Invitation planHow are you going to invite people to your event?
However you publicize your event, it is VERY important that you think creatively, use your networks, and collect RSVPs so you know how big a crowd do expect and so you can plan accordingly. Invitation and Flier TemplateThe Global Campaign can provide you with the powerpoint template for this e-invitation or flier that you can easily send around to listservs, colleagues, and potential audience members. 
Language for a listserv / email invitationJoin the XXX groups for a special viewing of: Giving Women Power Over AIDS, a traveling exhibit featuring In Her Mother’s Shoes, an award-winning story and photo essay by The Seattle Times about women and children in a world of AIDS. As she becomes a woman big enough to wear her mother’s sandals, Martha - who lost her mother to AIDS, will grow up in Zimbabwe where 50 percent of today’s teenagers are expected to someday die of AIDS. This is a world where many women have little say about relationships. About sex. About condoms. And no way to protect themselves against HIV. Learn how a handful of scientists and advocates are racing to curb the loss of future generations from this epidemic. Their pursuit - a microbicide - would offer this hope.
