It is December 1st, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which is of course Giving Tuesday. If you have not yet given to NNI this year, please consider doing so today. Of the over 900 people on this list, 250 have given to NNI since November first of last year, 350 since the beginning of 2019, and 450 since the beginning of 2018. Can you help us get those numbers up today? If you've already given this year, thank you! If you’ve given in past years: $50, $100, $200, we’d love you to repeat it. Better yet, increase that gift by 25% and show that you support NNI's continued growth. In my direct letters this year, I’ve asked past donors of $50–$100 to double those gifts in 2020. I am very pleased with the response so far.
But I'd like to make this email primarily a request to our future first-time donors. How about $25? It is especially easy if you have a PayPal account. It's also easy on our website or Facebook. Think of the difference it would make if every first-time donor on this list gave $25.
Where will your money go? If you’ve been reading this newsletter, you know what we’ve been up to. We also have a big year planned in 2021. See below for the year's highlights. The NNI board, staff, and I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and happy new year. Thank you for your continued support of NNI.
