Dear {Name},
I'm flattered that you thought of me for the {committee/fundraiser/project/etc.}. Unfortunately, my volunteer time is all accounted for and I cannot take on anything else without breaking commitments I've made to myself and my family.
I recently spoke with {Name}, who mentioned that they would be willing to help out this time around. They asked me to share their contact info with you: {contact information}.
I expect to be available {next spring/in a month/etc.}. Please feel free to reach out to me at that time. As you know, I remain committed to the cause and am with you in spirit!
Sincerely,
{Name}
