I have to ask.
Hi, John — Brady from Cori's finance team here.
I know we're heading into a long holiday weekend, so I'll get right to it. Since the midterm elections earlier this month, our fundraising has slowed dramatically.
A small slowdown is natural after a busy period like an election, but we're starting to get nervous that our numbers won't pick up in time to meet our end-of-month fundraising goal next week. That's why I have to ask:
Before you log off for the holiday, will you make your first donation to Team Cori now to help us close this gap and stay on track with our fundraising ahead of next week's deadline?
Chip in $5
According to our records, you have yet to chip to Team Cori. We are so grateful you're a part of this team, but we're counting on contributions from first-time donors like you if we're going to fund our budget. Let me explain:
On a grassroots campaign like ours, we need small-dollar donations every single month to pay for our expenses — from staff and an office to organizing and finance software. Hitting our November end-of-month fundraising goal will ensure Cori has the resources to keep up her fight to transform politics — but we need your support to make it happen.
Please, before you log off, I have to ask again: Will you please donate $5 — or any amount — to Team Cori? Your donation will go directly toward powering Cori's fight to save lives.
From all of us on Team Cori, Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you.
— Brady
