Select a Chairperson for Underwriting. This is a major assignment for one who has contactswith potential major donors in the community.
Use this Underwriting Solicitation Package Workbook provided by Ducks Unlimited. The cashunderwriting target should be 3 times the committee cost (see catalog order form). Copy ordetach the pages to allow several committee members to canvass the community. Assign eachsolicitor a group of businesses in order to reduce overlapping contacts.
Show the Auction Items to the Public, (e.g., place several framed prints in a bank lobby,especially if the bank has underwritten them.)

✦ Display banners provided by the underwriter during the event✦ Put up signs bearing the underwriter’s name on or near the underwritten items✦ Give the underwriter a certificate and a donor decal✦ Put the underwriter’s name in the banquet program✦ Send the underwriter a “thank you” note
Report the Underwriting Contribution in the appropriate space on the financial report formbecause it will impact your overhead by lowering costs (line #10 on the Financial Report).Treat it as “negative expense,” not income!

Your generosity to this community and to our (your chapter) Chapter of Ducks Unlimited isgratefully appreciated. Our chapter’s efforts have raised over $(amount), and your gift hasplayed an integral part in our annual event.
With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the largest and most effectivewetland conservation organization in the world. Since the inception of Ducks Unlimited in1937, our projects have been responsible for nearly 11 million acres of restored, protected, andenhanced wetlands and other wildlife habitats. Wetlands are nature’s most productiveecosystems, but the United States has lost more than half of its original wetlands and continuesto lose more than 100,000 wetland acres every year. That’s why we need the continued supportof businesses like yours.
Again, we thank you for your support and invite you to participate next year.
