5 Tips for writing a winning Donors choose application:

1. The title is the first thing that a potential donor will see, so having a title that stands out is important.
Two of the three I chose follow this, "Launch us into 2017 with Launchers and Cases!" caught my attention right off the bat. And "New Instruments" could be changed to something like "Saxophones for aspiring Musicians", or something like that. 

2. Make sure to double check the application for any errors.
The second project I picked had two sentences in the same paragraph that said the same thing. 

3.Be very clear. Who? What? and Why?
All three projects followed this

4. Make sure to mention what happens if the project is not funded.
The first project said that due to a lack of instruments, students drop out of the program and have feelings of personal failure.

5. Be Positve!
All three projects were positive, in talking about the students and the benefits the fully funded project would bring.
