John,
Hi - I’m Terri, the Chief Financial Officer at Fight for the Future. You don’t often hear from me because I mostly work in the background, making sure our team of campaigners, policy experts, and technologists have the resources they need to fight important battles like restoring net neutrality, fighting Amazon’s surveillance empire, and defending online free expression.
I’m reaching out today because we’re behind on our fundraising and need to make up our deficit by the end of the year. We need 85 people to start a monthly gift by the end of December to ensure we can cover the costs of our campaigns in the coming year. Can you be one of those people and make sure Fight for the Future can keep up the fight on urgent issues in 2022?
Fight for the Future is one of the most efficient and effective organizations I’ve ever seen (and I’ve kept the books for many nonprofits and companies over the years). The team is intentionally small and we’ve always worked remotely to keep costs low.
Whether we’re building custom tools to drive thousands of phone calls to lawmakers at just the right moment, getting quoted in major press outlets, crowdfunding billboards to call out corrupt politicians or corporations, or organizing massive online and IRL protests to defend Internet freedom and basic rights, we always focus on having the biggest impact we can with our tiny budget.
Small grassroots donations make up more than 60% of our budget, which means we’re counting on supporters like you to make our crucial work possible. And monthly donations give us the flexibility to keep driving forward on campaigns without having to worry about whether or not we have the resources in key moments.
We’ve got a few more weeks to make up this difference and you can be a key part of the puzzle. If you can, please make a monthly gift—in any amount you can—today.
Thanks so much,
Terri and the whole team at Fight ❤️
P.S. To show our thanks to everyone who makes a monthly donation, we’ll send you a gift. Check out our new offers of appreciation for different monthly giving levels.
