Nothing encourages existing donors to continue giving and inspire potential donors to start like seeing the rewards of the time, money and effort that past donors have given. That logic is the basis for Howard Hospital Foundation’s Development News, which BHC designed.

Hannah More School Appeal Letter

To help educate and inspire potential donors, BHC worked with the development director for Hannah More School to identify specific aspects of the school to feature in a series of appeal letters.

While illustrating the importance of the education Hannah More provides, these letters provided a call to action, encouraging readers to contribute to the school. The packet also included a contribution envelope that increased the ease with which readers could donate.
