If you run a nonprofit group that you know how important public relations is when soliciting for money or running a fundraiser event. Public-Relations doesn't just stop once the event is over. After a fundraising event it is important to thank all the people that made it possible both in letters and a formal thank you. And also public thank you, perhaps in a letter to the editor of the local newspaper thanking each and every person who helped. Over the past 20 years by company has done a huge number of car wash fundraisers for nonprofit groups, because my company was involved in the car wash business. One thing I always insisted was that the nonprofit group thanked all the people who made it possible. There were two reasons for this actually. The first reason is because it is the right thing to do and the second reason is because these nonprofit groups may need the same people to help next year in a similar event. Below is a copy of a thank you letter to an insurance agent for handling a fundraiser event. Most independent insurance agencies do not make much money on nonprofit fundraisers that they insure and they generally have to twist the arm of a insurance underwriter to write the policy even for a one-day event in the first place. Perhaps this sample letter will help you with public-relations in your nonprofit group.
