Sample Pledge Solicitation Letter

Dear Friend of Birds,

Spring is here! Birds are building nests, donning their finest plumage, and Golden Gate Audubon is gearing up for its biggest fundraising event of the year – Birdathon 2010! Please join the fun!

Between April 17th and May 16th l, I’ll be joining devoted birders of all abilities to bird while raising important funds for GGA. With ample food, rain gear, binoculars, scopes, field guides, and more, we’ll begin an adventure fueled by the primal urge to compete with fellow birders to support birds and other native wildlife! My team, (TEAM NAME), will scour habitats all over the Bay Area and beyond during a 48-hour birding extravaganza!

You can join in this event by making a donation in my name or pledge me for each species of bird I identify during my Birdathon. I expect to identify about (FILL IN # SPECIES EXPECTED HERE) bird species on this trip. Funding brought in by Birdathon supports GGA programs, which help inspire others to love and protect nature. These include:

• An innovative Eco-Education Program in Oakland and North Richmond to serve students and their families

• Legal protection for threatened Bay Area wildlife habitat in important bird areas

• A Wildlife Emergency Response Plan, that enables GGA to respond quickly to oil spills and partner with the Oiled Wildlife Care Network.

• Classes, free speaker events, and field trips that educate thousands of Bay Area residents

Please pledge me this year by filling out the attached form and returning it by Friday, May 21, 2010 Any amount you pledge will be appreciated! I hope I can count you in among my sponsors!

Your birding friend,
