- Sample Non-profit/School Letter -

Dear (PTO President or Non-profit fundraising chairperson),

Did you know that according to a recent survey by the International Car Wash Association, 84% of Americans feel affection or emotion for their cars? That’s a lot of smitten drivers in (name of city) and we would like to turn that statistic into a fundraising opportunity for (name of school or non-profit).

We would like to volunteer (name of car wash) to host a Car Love benefit for your organization. Unlike an amateur car wash held in a parking lot, we’re offering your the support of a professional car wash. We would supply the suds and water and ask that your volunteers assist us in drying the vehicles.

Your organization would receive (%) of each car washed during the promotion day!

The Car Love benefit is a wonderful opportunity for the (name of community) residents to show support for (name of school or non-profit). In addition to the fundraising opportunity, the benefit provides the following public relations opportunities:
• Visibility in our shop and exposure to our customers. We will proudly display your name on our message boards on the day of the event.
• Increased consumer word-of-mouth discussions.
• Possible media visibility, since we will alert the media to the event.

Did you know that a professional car wash is much better for the environment than a home wash, which can use up to twice as much water and pollute local lakes, rivers and streams? Our business uses equipment that cleans cars thoroughly while also conserving water. We all pipe dirty water to treatment facilities or into state-approved drainage facilities. In addition, a fundraiser at a professional car wash will keep your volunteer troops dry!

I will call you next week to discuss this fundraiser. (Name of car wash) is excited to support (name of school or non-profit).

Best regards,
