Dear John:

To be candid, IGNITE truly counts on your support to make our training and advocacy programs — IGNITE the Capitol Advocacy Days and our National Campus Convention in Washington, D.C. - happen. For many eager participants, the cost of transportation presents a real financial burden.

It doesn’t take much to make a difference, though. In fact, donating the cost of a peppermint hot chocolate to No Time to Lose: The IGNITE Scholarship Fund is a small action that could change someone’s life.

Don’t take my word for it, though. Here’s what Mana Shooshtari, Scheduler, U.S. House of Representatives and Elected Delegate, California AD 13, has to say:

• $10 → $25: Covers snacks for participants before they head to legislative meetings.
• $25 → $50: Covers meals for one participant at IGNITE the Capitol.
• $50 → $100: Supports bus transportation to a state capitol.
• $100 → $200: Covers flights to state capitols.
• $200 → $500: Funds travel to Washington, D.C. for the National College Convention.

Thanks to a generous match from Nia Impact Capital, every dollar you donate will be doubled.

Thank you for supporting practical training that teaches the next generation of political leaders how to effectively advocate for themselves and their communities. In the midst of this hectic time of year, it grounds me to remember the spirit of generosity that makes this season so special. 

With gratitude,

Sara Guillermo, IGNITE CEO
