Which is correct?

a) "I would like to ask to a donation to my cause."

b) "I would like to ask you for a donation to my cause."

(Or are both correct?) No.

----------------------------

THANK YOU.

Use b).

The pattern in a) is to ask for something for yourself:

I asked to be seated in a non-smoking section of the restaurant.

Or for someone else:

I asked them to keep off the grass.
