Reminder: 50th Anniversary Match Fund doubles your impact

Dear John,

Have you sent your year-end gift to be doubled by the $50,000 50th Anniversary Match Fund?

I really hope you’ll choose to join us because your support truly matters. Let me give you an example.

For 30 years, the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® program has offered our scholars a supportive, respectful, and empowering environment for both learning and growth. A nourishing meal, chances to move their bodies, books that speak to their heritage and lived experiences, and much more give each young person the tools to thrive.

Our CDF Freedom Schools staff is committed to every scholar’s physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual well-being. “I get to be that person that I didn’t have in school,” says Elia, one of our Servant Leader Interns.

Reminder: 50th Anniversary Match Fund doubles your impact

In 2023, we were able to serve 25% more children and youth compared to the year prior—amazing growth! But we don’t yet have CDF Freedom Schools in all 50 states. With the rise in banning books and the removal of America’s true history from many schools, I think you’ll agree that we need sites all across the nation.

Reminder: 50th Anniversary Match Fund doubles your impact

Through the match fund, your year-end gift will double in impact for vital 2024 initiatives such as expanding the CDF Freedom Schools program. Will you take a moment to make that gift today?
