Gift acceptance or acknowledgement letters are sent out to donors performing a good deed. Just like sending out thank-you notes to friends and family members after you have received a birthday gift from them, in the same way, thanking someone to make a fund donation to your cause or nonprofit work warrants a thank you letter as well. By doing so, you acknowledge their donation and make them feel good about their kind act.

 

By sending a well-written and proper gift acceptance letter, you uplift your organization’s name, and gain a good future donor as it builds a relationship with them. The best way to write a gift acceptance letter is by:

 

  • Staying informal and using personal language.
  • Appreciating the donation, no matter how small or big it is.
  • Acknowledging any past gifts sent by the donor.
  • Getting it handwritten, and signed by the head.

 

Below is a sample on writing a gift acceptance letter:
