E-mail Template for Requesting Links from Volunteer Site Backlinks

(this e-mail template would be good when contacting Non-Christian organizations)

Subject: Link Request

I saw that you had a link on your site to VolunteerMatch (or other name???), and I wanted to see if you would consider adding a link to our website ChristianVolunteering.org.  ChristianVolunteering.org is the faith-based counterpart to VolunteerMatch (or other name???) with national partnerships with the Salvation Army, Rescue Missions, World Vision and other organizations that serve over 35 million individuals from under-resourced communities each year. 

While our specialty is with faith-based organizations, we do not discriminate among organizations or volunteers in whom we serve.  Because of this focus, ChristianVoluntering.org has more volunteer opportunities with faith-based organizations than any other site.  In particular what we are trying to use this focus to be able to partnering with thousands of churches to serve as a source of volunteers (since the faith-based  volunteer market is valued at $51.8 billion). 

If you are willing to add a link, you could use something like ChristianVolunteering.org: Volunteer in Faith-Based Charities (http://www.christianvolunteering.org).  Thanks so much for your consideration!  Let me know if you have any questions.
