People want to donate to a worthy cause, but today they are deluged with telemarketers and direct mail asking for money. Your appeal must be direct and compelling, and it's helpful if you can explain exactly how the money will be used. Enclose a response vehicle (such as a pledge card and envelope) and accept credit cards if possible.
