    Everything you need to know
    A letter of recommendation is a great way to demonstrate your nonprofit's impact
    and credibility to potential funders. Get started with this time-saving toolkit. 

    Frequently Asked Questions


    Q: Who should I ask to write a letter of recommendation?
    A: You should ask someone who has experienced your nonprofit's work firsthand. Consider
    asking donors, board members, program constituents, peers, or prominent community
    members.   

    Q: What should I ask for in my letter?


    A: You should ask your letter writer to summarize her or his history with your nonprofit and
    include examples of its impact in the community. Ask the writer to include the date and her or
    his contact information. If a grantor asks for a letter, send one that has been written within
    the last three months.

    Q: How should I ask someone to write a letter of reference for my nonprofit?


    A: You should ask however you feel most comfortable! It's a good idea to provide an outline of
    your request in writing, so the writer has a solid understanding of what you need and why.

    We are writing this letter to highly recommend partnerships with ________________.


    Throughout our three years of working with this organization, we have been impressed with
    their unwavering commitment to their community and the quality of their programs.

    Last year, we had the opportunity to collaborate with this organization for a three-month
    long community improvement project. During that time, we provided 3,000 lunches to
    students from low-income families. We also held three workshops about nutrition and more
    than 400 children participated.

    This organization has been a joy to work with and is having a positive impact in our
    community. Their staff and board is organized, passionate, and dedicated to helping others.

    Please reach out should you have any additional questions regarding this organization. You
    can reach us at ________________ (email) or ________________ (phone number).
