Dear John,

We are about halfway through our Annual Fund drive – and we are so grateful to the many people who have answered our call! To stay on track for our 2021 fundraising, we need to raise $80,000 by June 30. Your past support has made all the difference in these times of pandemic. Could you pitch in again this year to help us meet our goal? 

Your gift will help us:

Meet community needs. In the U.S., your gift supports a wide range of grassroots organizing efforts, from mutual aid to human rights monitoring at the U.S-Mexico border. In Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, we partner with dozens of civil society and community groups on everything from delivering humanitarian aid to supporting youth-led initiatives.

Build bridges for peace. In these polarized times, AFSC plays a key role in convening people who would not ordinarily meet, in the U.S. and internationally. By bringing people together, from government officials to leaders of social movements, and encouraging an open exchange of ideas, we help build trust, forge partnerships, and reduce conflict. 

Advocate boldly and tirelessly. Donations from caring people like you give us the financial independence to speak out on issues that are too sensitive for other organizations to tackle – and to stand on the right side of history, even when it takes a generation or more to bring change.

Research for the common good. Your gift helps us conduct research grounded in the wisdom, knowledge, and experiences of those most impacted by injustice and conflict. It also helps us share our findings freely with partners, faith communities, and social justice practitioners to help inform everything from socially responsible investing to persuasive policy advocacy.

AFSC supporters like yourself are at the heart of all we do. If you can, please make a gift today to fund our work for a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.

Thank you for supporting our work!
