Writing your personal fundraising letter: A Roundup

Last night we discussed how to write your personal fundraising letter. If you missed the meeting, you can find handouts here. Or feel free to use the online versions to cut and paste from (but remember, personalization is absolutely essential! No one loves a form letter!)

For more information, see last year's post that goes a bit more in-depth on the criteria list. (Scroll down)

Need help finding your elected officials? Try this link. And Google is always your friend, too.

Remember: draft letters and your list of target donors (with addresses!) are due next week. You can always email your advisors drafts early, though!

Small-Dollar, On-Line Fundraiser

The journey of $1000 begins with the first $5, or $2, or even $1. 

We've launched a page at Causes.com to raise our first $1000 for the year. Please share this link with your families, friends, and all around your community. Don't forget to share it on Facebook!


It all starts tonight!

Students love it. Parents love it. Colleges REALLY love it! The fun starts tonight! Youth & Government starts today, Monday, September 10 at 6:30p at the Sacramento YMCA (2021 W Street). It's a model legislature and court program for high school students. You're gonna love it. We promise. Bring your friends!  The more students, the more fun!
