Dear Friend,

Early giving for Give to the Max Day is now open, and this year, your donation will go even further. Thanks to a generous matching donor, every gift will be doubled up to $20,000.

This year marks five years of TakeCharge inspiring cultural renewal in black communities across America. We have launched Washington Academy schools, produced a national film on marriage, and expanded our ambassador network from Minnesota to Mississippi.

Your early gift helps us build momentum for a record-breaking day. Here's what you are supporting:

• 2 Washington Academy schools launched
• 4 new state chapters in MN, TN, MI, and MS
• 1.4 million reached online
• A nationwide campaign to Make Marriage Cool Again

You don’t have to wait to make a difference. Early gifts help us hit the ground running and maximize the match.
