Letter to Request a Contribution

Dear_____________,

My name is Honor Bright and I am secretary of the Norcross High School Student Council. I am interested in attending the (Event Name) to help me in my efforts to become a better student leader.

The (Event Name) is a program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. It will provide me with      days of hands-on leadership training in areas such as meeting management, conflict mediation, problem solving, decision making, and service learning. Developing these skills will help me achieve my goal of becoming a better leader in my school.

In order to go to the (Event Name), I need to raise $       to help pay for my registration and transportation. I have saved $      and am in need of assistance to attain the remainder of the expenses. The deadline for me to submit my conference registration is         . I hope the Newton Rotary Club will consider my request and be able to provide assistance with costs.

If you are available, I would like to meet with you in the near future to discuss my request. I will call you (your office) next week. Should you need to contact me before then, I can be reached at (phone number).

I am looking forward to speaking or meeting with you.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
