A year ago, we launched a new fundraising program called 1000 Strong for Public Education to give our volunteers across the state a feel-good, structured way to support our work through monthly commitments. It’s a way to know you’re making a difference for Arizona’s public school students every single month, while allowing us to plan knowing we’re able to continue our critical work. As our fabulous Board Chair recently said, “If everyone in our network gave $10 a month, we’d be able to fund all of our organizers, presentations, and programs without ever begging anyone again!” 😂 And it’s true.
Knowing that we can keep the lights on and fund our incredible organizers and programs means the world to us. It gives us peace of mind — but it also allows us to focus on the truly dizzying and daunting work of supporting our school boards across hundreds of districts, advocating at the state and federal level for public education, shaping the narrative locally and nationally about the dangers of vouchers, presenting to folks across the state, engaging parents, registering voters, and SO MUCH MORE!
