Bad vs good

Weak wording	Better wording
We need money for equipment.	We are seeking $8,400 to purchase junior training equipment and 20 hardship uniforms for 92 players aged 6–17.
This will help the community.	The project reduces the cost barrier for families and allows the club to retain junior players who would otherwise miss the season.
We will report back.	We will provide receipts, photos, player numbers and a short impact report within 30 days of completion.
