An effective donor thank you letter has several key elements: 1. It is personal. "Dear Mr. Smith" or, if you know the donor, "Dear David." 2. It truly expresses appreciation for the gift. "We here at ABC Fund have received your generous gift of $XXX. Thank you so much!" 3. It tells the donor how the gift will make a difference. "Because of your caring and generosity, five children can be fed for a month. You will save lives!" 4. It promises further communication on what the gift achieves. "In coming months we will keep you informed about the progress we are making, with your help, to allieviate hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa." 5. It describes how the donor will be recognized. "We will be pleased to list your name as a supporter of ABC Fund in our quarterly newsletter." 6. It wishes the donor well. "We wish you and your loved ones health and happiness in this spring season." 7. It again thanks the donor. "With deepest appreciation," 8. It is signed by a live person. 9. It provides tax information. "ABC Fund is a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Your donation may be tax deductible. For your benefit and as required by law, we state that ABC Fund did not provide any goods or services in consideration, in whole or in part, for this contribution." Also, an effective donor thank you letter is best sent immediately after the contribution is received. Delay suggests the gift is not important to the recipient organization. An immediate thank you suggests the gift is important and the organization is highly appreciative of what the donor has provided.
