We started our Summer fund-drive knowing We Can Do It Together, and then pledging to Risk More and Sooner, asking for your help as we together struggle for interdependence and seek our own transformation. In order to press on with our mission we need to raise $18k by the end of September.
You have heard us and contributed $10k! A generous donor has pledged a matching dollar for every dollar we raise after $10k, so we only need $4k in new contributions to finish the campaign!
Here is our ticker. For each dollar you send, the ticker will leap two!
You can also sponsor one of our Living Room gatherings this fall with a donation of $250 or $500 (Living Room sponsorships will also be matched!). See Sponsorship details in sidebar below.
Visit our Donate page for all giving options!
The city is bustling with people this September carrying difficult memories and great hopes. Thank you for contributing and helping us use every ounce of our energy to make a difference in New York City!
