John,

Forty-five years ago, our organization was shaped by a big, bold goal: transforming our economy to work for everyone.

We’ve made great strides. Our work has saved millions of dollars for low-income taxpayers, equipped underserved children with savings accounts, and exposed some of the most shocking realities of America’s racial wealth divide.

But with our economy still leaving millions on the sidelines, it’s clear we have more work to do. In 2024, we’ll need your support to create even more change.

• For more than one-third of all households and more than half of families of color, financial ruin is one crisis away.
• Nearly half of consumers can’t get an affordable loan to advance their aspirations or cover an emergency.
• If the average family wealth continues to grow at the same pace it has over the past three decades, it would take Black families 228 years, and Latino families 84 years, to amass the same amount of wealth White families have today.

If we are honest about the state of most American households, we need more than an intervention: We need a transformation.

You can be a part of that transformation by joining our movement in the form of a life-changing contribution today. Your generosity can help launch programs and policies that not only advocate for better economic systems but create them now.

As we celebrate the 45th anniversary as an organization, our resolution to enact A Bold Now for a Prosperous and Equitable Tomorrow guides our steps.

We believe that every individual deserves to participate fully in our economy and build sustainable wealth through generations so that all communities can prosper without exception.

If you share that belief, we invite you to partner with us to build an economy that works for everyone.

Thank you for helping Prosperity Now create change for another 45 years.

Sincerely,

Marisa Calderon
President & CEO
