Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and I have found it very usefull up to now. I am currently in the process of looking for sponsors within my community as well as, in kind donations for my non-profit program. My problem is that I am not sure what a letter requesting sponsorship is suppose to sound like! I hope that this will be usefull to others as your letters have been to me....

Dear (NAME NAME), (DATE, 2005)
My name is (Elle), I am the (POSITION) of (COMPANY). On behalf of (COMPANY), I would like to invite (your company) in sponsoring us, a non-profit (TYPE OF COMPANY) agency for bilingual youth at risk between the ages of (#) and (#) years old. (COMPANY)’s individualized support program focuses on resume writing, job development, interview skills, life skills, career planning, employment placements and continuous follow-ups with clients and employers. Our goal is to help our clients with barriers to gain and maintain employment.
Your generous in kind donations would be highlighted by having (your Company)’s name and logo placed on (COMPANY)’s website and on our pamphlets. The purpose of the sponsorship is to get the proper equipment to maintain our level of efficiency with our clients. (COMPANY)’s demand for computers, telephones and other office equipment has superseded our current suppliers capabilities due to our rapid growth.
In regards to our conversation, I would like to schedule a meeting to further discuss this opportunity with your company. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to your reply, I can be reached at (111-1111).
Sincerely,
(NAME)
