Fundraising Tips



Your StoryUse one of our email templates to help with your outreach.  You can personalize these by including a short, personal note. It's helpful to share a personal story about why you want to help fight hunger and why you’re choosing to fundraise for Feeding Westchester!


Your ListThink about everyone you know: friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues. Do you know anyone who has been affected by homelessness?
Your AskDon’t be afraid to ask! Most people are happy to donate to a good cause and support your fundraising campaign. Share your story and why you're participating in a Feeding Westchester fundraiser and your involvement in our organization.
Your ReminderPeople easily forget and reminder emails are more successful than the initial email.
Your Thank You'sThose who donated to your campaign will receive a thank you letter on behalf of Feeding Westchester. It’s nice to receive a personal note about the importance of a donation. Let those who have donated know what their support and encouragement means to you.
Matching GiftsRemind potential donors that many companies will match employees’ charitable donations. Matching gifts can double someone's donation.
