The first step to request a donation to a company, is to identify the organization to which we want to make the request. Ideally, we should investigate if the company's policies really have a motivation and are committed to making donations for our cause. If this is really the case, it will be much easier for us, so it is convenient to investigate which companies have a special sensitivity with the motive that moves us.

The way to contact the company would be by letter or in person, the second being preferable since direct contact always gives more scope to know the interests of both parties. For this, we can go to the social responsibility department of the company or any similar one that has, within the administrative part of it.

In the event that we wish to make a formal letter, we must take into account the following aspects:

• Begin by giving thanks for the altruistic donation work that the company usually performs, in the event that it is so.
• Presentation of our organization, explaining our purpose.
• Explanation of the reasons why we need the donation, as well as how this amount will be invested.
• Explanation of how it will positively affect the ability to carry out the projects we want.
• Thanks and signature.

In the event that we wish to arrange an interview with the company, the ideal would be to make a presentation with slides, such as Powerpoint or Prezi, in such a way that we expose the same points as before but accompanied by a verbal explanation, as well as photographs and graphics that could reinforce our idea. We have to be prepared also to be able to answer all the questions that the listeners could ask us .

In both cases, it is also advisable to offer examples of how previous donations have allowed projects to be carried out and to improve the quality of life of people or nature, as the case may be, so that they can see how their money is spent.

In addition, we can offer the company certain advantages, promoting it in certain activities in which the organization and its brand is known, thanks to the donation made by them.

In any case, it is always advisable to make a formal letter of thanks in which we collect the evolution of our project and let them know how grateful we are for your donation.
