Individual Donor Letter
Individual Donor Letter
Project details
What we need
- A concise, well-articulated letter (not exceeding two pages) to request funds from individual donors
Additional details
Donors are mostly small- to mid-level donors that give regularly. We are a Latina-led organization, and many of our donors are also Latinas. We are looking to run an individual donor direct mail/email campaign in early October.
What we have in place
- We currently have reproductive justice stories and programmatic info on web pg, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the Executive Director who is ready and willing to speak, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,140 , allowing us to focus on an upcoming fundraising virtual event and a proposal to a new foundation.
In the past 5 years, we have been working on growing our individual donor campaign, culminating in last year's organizational 15th Anniversary. Donors were particularly generous during the first pandemic year. We would like to work on getting usual donors to increase their gifts, get donors to make recurring gifts, and bring in some new donors from our base.
Project plan
Our mission
CLRJ is a statewide organization committed to honoring the experiences of Latinas to uphold our dignity, our bodies, sexuality, and families. We build Latinas’ power and cultivate leadership through community education, policy advocacy, and community-informed research to achieve Reproductive Justice.
What we do
Since its founding in 2004, CLRJ has emerged as an important state level actor and has a growing profile in the national level. CLRJ has evolved to be the leading California-based Latina Reproductive Justice organization, and is the only statewide advocacy organization whose mission focuses specifically on promoting Latinas' Reproductive Justice through policy advocacy, combined with community-informed research, community mobilization, alliance building, leadership development and long term movement-building strategies. At the national level, CLRJ also serves as a recognized leader in promoting a vibrant Reproductive Justice Movement on behalf of the most underserved Latinas, low-income women of color, immigrant women and their communities.
