Sometimes situations arise in life in which an individual or organization needs to urgently find a source of funding. Financial assistance may be required both for the implementation of a separate project and for ongoing activities related to good goals.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, clearly define the direction in which you intend to receive sponsorship, since many foundations and charitable organizations are highly specialized and have restrictions on a number of powers. For example, they provide only technical assistance or finance only projects of individual citizens, or cooperate only with legal entities.
Step 2
Collect from various sources all the information you need about potential sponsors, compare your plans with the specifics of the fund you have chosen.
Step 3
Take the initiative in establishing contact: a) call the sponsor; b) make an appointment with a representative of this organization; c) send a letter of request, in which you describe the essence of the project and ask to send the application form. This procedure, most likely, will require some financial costs from you, depending on the remoteness of the fund (it may not have a representative office in Russia). But a request letter is the least expensive way to communicate with a sponsor in the future.
Step 4
Apply for financial assistance. Do it as succinctly as possible, without unnecessary phrases and definitions. If you are at a loss when completing this business letter, contact a specialist.
Step 5
In the application, indicate all the necessary information: a short description of the project, information about its tasks, goals and relevance of the problem under study, and most importantly - about its prospects and planned results. Do not forget to provide all the necessary information about the applicant.
Step 6
Prepare the title page and annotate the project.
Step 7
If you still have questions, enter the word "fanraising" in the search field of any of the search engines. Despite the fact that as a result you can get several thousand links to the addresses of various sites, the most popular queries will help you get acquainted with all the necessary materials and recommendations.
