4. Letter Writing
Writing letters to family and friends is an effective way to raise money for your personal trip.
If you are not going on a trip, consider writing letters to help GMU raise money!
You can follow the template OR create your own.
You can write or type your letters.
We have stamps, envelopes and paper – you just need to provide the address.

8. TIPS For letter writing
Modify the sample letters to fit your situation.
Keep it short and simple.
Write your goals, purpose of the project, and reasons for volunteering. 
When writing your fundraising letter, explain how their donation will make an impact by allowing you to join humanitarian trips that aim to construct/build schools and orphanages. 
Please remember to be as short, clear and precise as possible when writing your letters. Emphasize on the fact that it is not a volunteer vacation but a real humanitarian trip. This will help donors to understand the project and your motivation to collect aid from them for a good cause.
You may find that asking for a specific amount of money is the most successful approach. Let them know the total amount that you are hoping to raise. You may even want to outline the specific cost, perhaps daily expenses of your program, etc.
Promise to reward your contributors with a follow-up presentation about what occurred during your volunteer work.
Keep all of the checks and donations and send them in one envelope to our office at Dandridge st, Fredericksburg VA before your trip. Please indicate that the checks are for your trip costs on a note.
