Hi John,
Just got off an all staff call with the NIAC team and I told them that we have some good news and some bad news.
I'll start with the good news because I'm an optimistic person. We had an incredible fundraising month in June. We surpassed our fundraising goals and a generous supporter in Los Angeles stepped up to support us in a big way. We asked for your support and you stepped up. Dozens of new donors generously supported us for the first time and many more continued to support us by making an investment in our organizing and educational efforts.
While June was a strong month — here's the bad news — we ended the quarter just shy of our fundraising goal for Q2. Specifically, we fell short $2,000 in the online giving category. While we can't change that, we can give a boost to our third quarter fundraising efforts. If just 50 people step up to donate $40, we'll be off to a strong start.
Can we count on you to chip in $40 or more today? That 100% tax deductible donation will go directly toward our cultural and educational efforts. [[link removed]]

From Open Mic nights to doing top-class research on issues impacting our communities, like unjust bank account closures, diversity visas, sanctions and the Iran Deal, NIAC is an organization doing the work that's only possible with your generous support. Thank you for helping us start out July and Q3 strong — it helps us be a bigger, better organization that grows our communities voice and power.
