1. Be intentional about the title. Make it eye-catching, even click bate like because it's the first shot at getting donors.
2. Provide a brief but thorough summary of the project in the first paragraph and relate to the donor somehow.
3. Provide very in-depth descriptions of the specifics of how a donation will help students after the intro paragraph.
4. Think of a way to benefit many students, more students than just 20 in one class, so the donor knows they get to impact many lives with even a small donation.
5. Do plenty of research on the products you need so that you're getting the most value for the best price. So the donor shouldn't be able to find the same thing you're asking $50 for sold at $30 somewhere online.
