Candy bars. Wrapping paper. Sub sandwiches.

Sometimes you are fed up with selling them. Sometimes you are sick of buying them.

Many would prefer to make a straight donation to your student’s school trip instead of purchasing a fundraising item. For those friends and family, it is helpful to craft a donation letter asking for their support. Share this letter at the beginning of the school year, before a birthday, and before other gift giving holidays. The gift of travel is a fantastic present to receive.

Hello!

This year my school is taking an educational trip to <INSERT DESTINATION CITY HERE>. I am so excited to travel with my friends and classmates from <INSERT SCHOOL NAME HERE> and see the amazing sights that <INSERT DESTINATION CITY HERE> has to offer. Here are some of the places I am most excited to experience:

  • <INSERT ITINERARY ITEM #1 HERE>
  • <INSERT ITINERARY ITEM #2 HERE>
  • <INSERT ITINERARY ITEM #3 HERE>
  • <INSERT ITINERARY ITEM #4 HERE>
  • <INSERT ITINERARY ITEM #5 HERE>

I know that I am going to learn so much during this trip! To attend, I need to meet certain academic and behavioral requirements outlined by my school. I also need to raise <INSERT PRICE OF TRIP HERE>. Would you please help me reach this goal by sponsoring my trip? All contributions are appreciated and bring me closer to <ENTER DESTINATION CITY HERE>.   Please send your contribution to:

<INSERT STUDENT/PARENT NAME>

<INSERT MAILING ADDRESS>

<INSERT CITY/STATE/ZIP CODE>

Thank you, in advance, for your support. If you have any questions about the trip or your contribution, please call <ENTER HOME PHONE NUMBER HERE>.

Sincerely,

<NAME OF STUDENT>
