Letter Writing Campaign
Step 2 - Make a Budget
With your project selected, it's time to figure out how much it
will cost. Remember, a good budget will become the basis for your fundraising
campaign.
Make an Online Budget
Go shopping for
needed items, and watch as a starter-budget materializes. Every item you select
will be added to your Digital Wish classroom profile.
Supporters will be given the opportunity to sponsor needed items
from your Digital Wish list.
Make a Paper Budget
At the same time, you'll want to make a paper budget that itemizes
everything you need. Here's an example of a simple budget.

Print a copy of your budget and add it to every letter you send out! Supporters
like to know exactly how their contribution helps. They will often donate
more money, if they can sponsor an item directly from your budget.
