Communication is the key to all successful fundraisers.
A very effective means of communication is still the letter to the editor or the newsletter, which can be inserted, in your local newspaper or community news. Letters to the editor can inform prospective donors and volunteers, announce upcoming events, raise public awareness of your organization and it's mandate and is a fantastic way of thanking the community and workers. The letter should take into consideration the audience of the newspaper or magazine. If there is more than one local newspaper, then write to all of them. While it seems overwhelming, a poor letter is better than no letter at all.
