Have any of you contacted local home builders? KBHome in Las Vegas donated $500 to us. I emailed them our donation request letter and they surprised me with a response stating they would like to donate $500 towards our PTA/Carnival. Whew-who! I've emailed ALL of the other home builders here, we have a lot. I hope we have a good response from them as well.

Originally posted by Momski: C'mon you guys. Don't be discouraged if they say 'no.' It sheer numbers. Everyone has their hand out.
My boss has a small charitable trust and you wouldn't believe the flood of unsolicited mail he receives (and I have to process).
My best success is to call. Have a script in case you get their voice mail (and YOU WILL be put through to voice mail).
Use voice mail etiquette.
0.5 practice your script.
1. Speak Clearly.
2. Say your name, your phone number, what organization you are with, and pitch why you're calling them.
3. Thank them for their time. Donor relations is sometimes an "add on job" to someone's already busy schedule.
4. End the call by saying again your name and phone number.
4.5 That way they don't have to listen to your entire message to get your name and number.
If you do get something, how DO YOU THANK YOUR donors?
A nice thank you letter to the donor with a report of the outcome of the event is always appreciated and is sometimes posted in the employee lounges.
