Friend, we're writing to you with some urgency. Right now, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation is facing a very difficult situation financially. For the past few months, we have been waiting for several promised — and substantial — gifts to arrive. We have now heard that these gifts will be delayed until September. Unfortunately, we were counting on this funding to carry us through the slower summer months, when income typically falls. As a result, we don't have enough cash on hand to carry us through September, when we expect these gifts to arrive. Please be assured we've managed our finances well and have operated lean and mean. But with the unexpected delay in gift income that we planned on, we need to turn to our friends, like you. Would you consider a special gift to NCOSE today to help us get past this unexpected income shortfall? Several supporters have come together to fund a $50,000 Matching Grant that will immediately DOUBLE whatever amount you can give today. That means every $1 you give by Wednesday, August 31, will become $2. This is an opportunity for us — AND you — to continue doing as much as possible during these lean weeks to keep pressure on powerful people and corporations that prey on women, children, and men who are most vulnerable. The need is both grave and urgent! Thank you in advance for sending your best gift now, which will be DOUBLED by the Matching Grant. |
