A Giving Tuesday form that worked
You Matter 2's Giving Tuesday form, built free on Zeffy
- Gifts tied to impact: Each amount says what it pays for, from a night of art to a semester with a therapist.
- A named need: Name one program, like art therapy that gives high school students a safe place to heal.
- Peer-to-peer fundraising: Let supporters start their own fundraising pages, so friends can fund more art nights for students.

A first set of rabbits and a county fair goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] joined our club this spring, raised a first set of rabbits, and now wants to show them at the county fair.
Next week is Giving Tuesday, and our goal is $1,000. That would cover fair project kits and entry fees for 20 club members, at $50 each.
We're opening the doors early. Gifts that arrive this week give the day a running start, and they help us plan supplies before the rush. Would you come back with an early gift?

Whatever you choose, thank you for being part of this club.

Our goal is $1,000 to cover project kits and county fair entry fees for 20 club members, at $50 each. For many families, those costs can be a stretch. If you're a business owner or board member, please share this link with your network, or consider matching a few member kits. Every dollar goes to the program because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits.
Thank you for backing these young people.
