Sample Mail-In Form
Although we encourage online giving as a more cost-effective and efficient way of giving, the following solicitation form can be included in your newsletter or linked to from your giving website for people who prefer to mail donations. The highlighted areas indicate variable text and in these locations you will need to include information specific to your department or program.
