Document background
The Solicitation Letter for a Cause is an essential document used in the United Arab Emirates when organizations seek to raise funds or support for charitable purposes. This document type must strictly adhere to UAE federal laws and local emirate regulations, particularly Federal Decree Law No. 20 of 2018 and UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 8 of 2012. The letter serves as a formal request for donations while demonstrating compliance with all regulatory requirements, including necessary permits and approvals from relevant authorities such as IACAD. It should be drafted to include clear information about the organization's credentials, the specific cause, intended use of funds, and impact measurements, while respecting local cultural norms and Islamic principles. The document is particularly important in the UAE context where charitable activities are closely regulated to ensure transparency and prevent misuse of funds.
