Occupy Edmonton is concerned about how corporate interests are infecting our political institutions, dictating public policy and decimating the environment. We are also concerned about a system that puts the hunger for profits above the health and well being of all our communities.

Post Soliciting Donations
on: October 16, 2011, 13:25

There are many places that will donate things to causes. Coffee, food, art supplies etc...stuff that would really benefit those staying over night especially. However, most of them usually require a letter on letter head. Is there anything we are currently using for this? Or any thoughts or suggestions?

What do you mean, just mailing or emailing business/groups for support?

To clarify, there are places that will donate things to help- food, supplies etc. For example, I run a woman's program- A constant client need is clothing for their children. I went and found some great places to donate these items. However they often ask for a letter from the NPO I work for, asking for the donation- usually on letter head.I was wondering, if a company wanted to donate something but required such a letter, what people thought about submitting a document on behalf of a whole movement. Should a template be developed? Should the individual seeking donations write it themselves? I dunno it's a pretty common practice, sorry if I was not articulate enough.
