John, I could really use your help with something.

My team and I have some important budget decisions to make, and we’re counting on a strong fundraising push at the end of the summer to help game out our strategy for the next few months.

Unfortunately, our summer fundraising slump has dragged into the end of August, and if we don’t break out of it soon, it could have a devastating impact on our outreach and ground game moving forward.

This really couldn’t be happening at a worse time, which is why I’m asking for your support today.

Can I count on you to chip in $10 or $25 toward our $10,000 August fundraising goal before the end of the month? You’re a critical part of this grassroots team, and coming up short could hamstring our efforts heading into September.

Thanks for having my back.
