126 DONORS NEEDED TO QUALIFY FOR $450,000

Update: we have 368 donors as of June 11th

James F. Strange Center

Thanks to our generous members, ÂÌñÒùÆÞ has raised funds to finance part of the purchase price for a new ÂÌñÒùÆÞ home in Alexandria, VA—The James F. Strange Center. Moving into our new home was and is an amazing accomplishment (see moving article), but we are not quite finished. In addition to paying off the debt and furnishing the building, we need a successful (ends June 30th) in order to cover one-time expenses associated with moving from Boston to Alexandria.

Fortunately, we have received an extraordinary challenge pledge of $450,000 that will ensure our success for the building—but we need to earn this gift by meeting two separate challenges by June 30:

• First, we must demonstrate that we are all behind ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s many initiatives by securing 450 unique donors. Donations may be for any purpose, including the Annual Fund.
• Second (and separate from the participation goal), we must raise $225,000 in new gifts and pledges for the building. To date, we have received gifts and pledges of $166,500 for this challenge—so we only need $58,500 more.

Your membership in ÂÌñÒùÆÞ is crucial to our shared success. We thank you for your partnership. Your donations enable ÂÌñÒùÆÞ to carry out our mission at a higher level and with greater impact. Even modest gifts add up to create significant support for ÂÌñÒùÆÞ, and the high level of donor participation from our memberships helps us attract gifts from foundations and major donors. Truly, every donor is important, and every gift is meaningful. This year, every gift helps us earn an additional $450,000!
