Donations/Sponsorship
Below is a letter for you to modify when seeking donations to promote an
activity and an example of a sponsorship form for a luncheon and/or an exhibit
booth. APPA members, Carole Braden (juvenile probation) and Pam Riddle (adult
probation) in Dallas developed these letters and forms.
Don't forget to remind potential donors that their contributions may be tax
deductible. And encourage them to donate not only money, but services such as
providing food for a special luncheon for a probation office or discounts to
officers on items bought in their establishments. What about asking for
volunteer time to a local charity that helps find jobs for offenders or that
helps them get needed training or education?
Seeking sponsorship for recognizing the work done by probation, parole and
community supervision professionals will not only allow you to provide a
celebratory lunch or other activities, but it will allow other groups and
agencies that also work with offenders to participate in the Week.
