Document background
The Major Gift Solicitation Letter serves as a critical tool in nonprofit fundraising, particularly when seeking significant financial support from high-capacity donors. Used extensively throughout the United States, this document must carefully balance compelling storytelling with legal compliance, including state-specific charitable solicitation requirements and IRS regulations. The letter typically initiates or advances major gift conversations, often leading to more detailed gift agreements. It should clearly articulate the organization's need, potential impact, and any recognition opportunities while maintaining all necessary legal disclosures.
