Indivisibles,

When we officially became an organization and wrote our fundraising philosophy back in May of 2017, we made two important promises to you, our movement.

First, we made a promise that we would be accountable to you. To do that, we vowed to not take money from corporations, political figures or parties, or special interests. And we’ve continued to be successful at that strategy.

Second, we made a commitment to be transparent and honest about our fundraising. Right now, we’ve only raised about 32% ($41,713) of our Giving Tuesday goal of $130,000. We still have time to catch up -- but we absolutely cannot do it without you. So we’re going to ask you again to make an investment in our movement. Here’s why:

We try our hardest not to treat our emails like an ATM. We only ask for money when we really have something to fund. Our development team seeks out real, matching donors (often a generous donor or a foundation who really likes our work) to match your donation one-for-one.

We view your donation as an investment. An investment in the thousands of Indivisible groups across the country. An investment in what we believe (and tens of thousands of activists across the country have used!) to be a winning strategy. And it’s an investment in an inclusive, progressive future.

So if you can, consider investing in our movement today. A generous donor is matching up to $100,000 in gifts made today -- so if you’ve been putting off giving (or giving again), now’s the time because for every dollar you give, we get two!

If you've saved your information with ActBlue Express Lane, your donation to Indivisible Civics will go through immediately:

We knew today’s goal was an ambitious one, but that’s because our organizational goals are ambitious. We set ambitious goals because we know that one way or another, together we can make them happen.

And that’s what we’re doing again today: asking for your support, for your investment in building something to last. For 2019, 2020, and beyond.

This year, grassroots donations from this movement funded three core pieces of our work. They’re not sexy or flashy, but they’re vital to sustaining this movement.

• We built tools for thousands of Indivisible groups. We provided nationwide access to canvassing and phone banking tools so Indivisible groups could talk to their friends and neighbors to mobilize and building long-lasting power.
  
  
• We connected you with improved tools to resist. With a redesigned site, an upgraded event map, and investments in tools, Indivisible supporters can far more easily get engaged with their nearest group, find nearby events, and contact their members of Congress.
  
  
• We expanded our organizing team so we could fight everywhere. We have 9 brand new, stellar organizers this year, and we now have organizers working in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

As we look into 2020 and 2021, our goal is to build a movement that will last. That means we’re investing in more staff to improve trainings and support groups in more ways and in tools that will give our members more effective ways to communicate. But we can only do that work with your help. So if you can, make an investment in our movement today. We’ve secured a matching grant and your donation will be matched one-for-one.

Thanks, as always, for your support. Literally none of our work would be possible without the hard work (and, yes, donations!) you put into this movement.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
