Sometimes situations arise in life in which an individual or organization urgently needs to find a source of funding. Financial assistance may be required both for the implementation of a separate project and for ongoing activities related to good goals.
Instruction manual
1
First of all, clearly define the direction in which you intend to receive sponsorship, as many foundations and charitable organizations are narrowly specialized and have limitations on a number of powers. For example, they provide only technical assistance or finance only projects of individual citizens, or cooperate only with legal entities.
2
Gather from various sources all the information you need about potential sponsors, compare your plans with the specifics of your chosen fund.
3
Take the initiative in making contact: a) call the sponsor; b) make an appointment with a representative of this organization; c) send a request letter stating the essence of the project and ask to send an application form. This procedure is likely to require you some financial costs, depending on the remoteness of the fund (it may not have a representative office in Russia). But a letter of inquiry is the least costly way of future communication with the sponsor.

Make a request for financial assistance. Do it extremely concisely, without unnecessary phrases and definitions. If you are at a loss when processing this business letter, contact a specialist.

Do not forget to provide all the necessary information about the applicant.

Make a cover page and annotate the project.
