Family Member Fundraising Support Letter Template

Dear (Relative),

As you know, I have been a part of 4-H for (years in 4-H). Over these years, I have (write a brief

paragraph about your 4-H experience and projects). Now I have the exciting opportunity to participate

in 4-H at the national level, through the Leadership Washington Focus program in Washington, DC.

Leadership Washington Focus (CWF) is one of the premiere youth leadership conferences in the nation

for 4-H young people. Held at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center near Washington, DC, this

conference brings young people from across the nation each summer. My goal is to attend this

conference this coming summer. LWF boosts leadership competency in the areas of critical thinking,

collaboration, communication, and confidence; preparing youth to return home and lead the way toward

positive changes in their own communities.

Based in the 50 plus year history of its companion program, Citizenship Washington Focus, LWF

prepares young people to meet the demands of leadership in the 21

century. With your support, I will

learn new skills that will allow me to shape a better future today. I will be exposed to people and

situations that will help me grow as a leader who stands out amongst my peers. And most importantly,

your support allows me to be an ambassador my state, my community, and our family.

While it is a great opportunity, my participation in LWF is not free. The program costs (cost of LWF),

which includes my transportation to and from Washington DC, my room and board while at the

conference, and the tuition cost for this exciting opportunity. I have raised some money by working at 4-

H events and by saving on my own but am looking for your help to make this experience possible. A

donation in any amount will go a long way towards making this experience a reality for me.

Thank you again for your support. Your donation allows me to take the lessons I will learn in

Washington, D.C. and bring them back home to make a positive impact in my world. You have

supported me in many ways throughout my life, and I know this opportunity will certainly be worth your

monetary support and a week of my summer. It will help me become a better person and I promise to

make our family proud! Thank you for considering my request to support 4-H and my attendance at the

Leadership Washington Focus program in Washington, DC. (Include information about how your

donor can send you money).

To making the best better,

Name
