Dear John,
I am reaching out to you today with some exciting news regarding NIAC’s President’s Club:
The President's Club is made up of supporters who contribute to NIAC's annual operating fund, which in turn enables NIAC to meet its highest priority needs: advancing peace & diplomacy, securing equitable immigration policies, and protecting the civil rights of all Americans. While some of NIAC’s work is supported through grants and restricted funded projects, the majority of the resources needed to accomplish our goals come through the gifts and contributions made via the President’s Club.
It is with your generous support of the President’s Club that we can continue building a more peaceful, more just, and more democratic world for this generation and for generations to come.
In an effort to streamline the various giving opportunities at NIAC and to ensure proper stewardship of gifts and contributions made to NIAC, we are expanding the membership to the President’s Club to any donor making a gift of $100+.
Additionally, in order to better describe the impact of your gifts and investments in NIAC, we have developed the following tiered structure for annual giving. Below are some examples of what your gift allows NIAC to accomplish at various levels.
