When to use this form
Use this form to gather and review community requests for support from schools, nonprofits, teams, and neighbors in need. It streamlines intake for cash grants, event sponsorships, or volunteer help, so you can decide quickly and keep records clean. Ask requesters to share purpose, audience, timeline, and documentation in one place. If the ask is for donated goods rather than funds, route them to the In-kind donation form. For food program partners, you can first vet them through the Food bank registration form. When requests involve apparel or household items, you may reference the Clothing donation valuation form to set fair expectations. The result: clearer decisions, faster responses, and better impact tracking.
Must Ask Charitable Request Questions
- What type of support are you requesting (cash, in-kind goods, volunteer hours, or sponsorship) and what is your deadline?
This clarifies scope and urgency so you can route requests, schedule staff, and manage budgets. If the request is for a blood drive or similar event, align intake with the Blood donation form to keep details consistent.
- Tell us about your organization or cause: mission, who you serve, and your nonprofit or registration status.
Confirming eligibility and alignment with your giving policy improves fairness and compliance. It also reduces fraud and speeds up due diligence.
- How will the funds or items be used, and what outcomes will you track (people served, locations, dates)?
Clear use and measurable outcomes help you estimate impact and compare requests. It also sets up simple reporting after you award support.
- What is the total project budget, the exact amount requested, and other confirmed or pending funding sources?
This context prevents overfunding and shows financial need. It helps you size the award and coordinate with other donors.
- How will you acknowledge our support (recognition benefits, logo placement, tax receipt contact)?
Knowing recognition and compliance details sets expectations for both sides. It makes it easier to fulfill sponsorship terms and issue receipts.
