Hey John,

 

As we approach the end of 2023, we’re looking both backward and forward. We’re looking back at forty years of advocacy for life, family, and religious freedom in Minnesota, and our 40th Anniversary celebrations this year. But we’re also looking forward, at the challenges and opportunities we face next year. 

 

Our biggest opportunity, as always, is to be a voice for your values in St. Paul and across the state. Thousands of churches and tens of thousands of families look to Minnesota Family Council to defend our shared values - we are humbled by that responsibility, and our pledge to you is to fulfill your trust as God blesses us in 2024.

 

But completing this mission comes with a price tag. Like every missional organization, we have goals and plans for 2024 that are dependent on the funding we receive at the end of this year, when, like most nonprofits, we receive almost 50% of our total support.

 

Will you consider making an end of year gift so that Minnesota Family Council & Institute can continue to be a voice for your values next year? Your gift of $20, $30, $50, or even more as you feel led, will help us be even more effective in our 41st year.

More details? Of course! One thing I want to bring to your attention now is the possibility of a pro-abortion, anti-family constitutional amendment (the ERA) to the Minnesota Constitution next year. Our adversaries are actively discussing this, and defeating it at the Legislature (or at the ballot box in November) will be a difficult and expensive endeavor. We have been prayerfully preparing for this battle for months - but we need your support now to put our plans into action.

 

Keeping the ERA off the ballot next fall is NOT a hopeless cause. We know there is dissent among legislators about whether this is the way to move forward. And if the ERA is on the ballot, it is NOT a foregone conclusion that it will pass. Minnesota Family Council will be in the forefront of this fight. We’re counting on your support now, so that you can count on our effectiveness next year.

 

Please consider making a year-end gift now, before Christmas.  We don’t want to fill your inbox, but we know you support our mission and we want to give you every opportunity to consider us in your year-end giving. For that reason, our year-end campaigns work so that if you give now or in response to one of our future December giving emails, you will not receive any additional requests for donation until next year (unless you opt in again to receive emails at mfc.org/subscribe).

 

Your gift of $20, $30, or $50 is critical to our organization, which is 100% donor-supported. Will you make your contribution now? Giving only takes a minute - and it's now even faster with new Apple Pay and Google Pay functionality.
