A safe place after school for [Name]

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] found a place to go after school. [Name] used to head home to an empty apartment. Now there's a safe room with homework help and a hot snack until a parent gets off work.

Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, and we're raising $1,000 to keep our doors open this winter: one month of free homework help and a hot snack for 20 kids.

Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum before the day arrives: [Donation link]

Thank you for being our neighbor.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and [Org name] is raising $1,000 for a free after-school program this winter.

[Donation link]

Many parents in our neighborhood work until evening. Without a safe place, their kids go home alone. $1,000 covers a month of homework help and a hot snack for 20 of them.

As a steward of your gift, I want every dollar to reach the program, and it does, because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits.

If you can, please give, share this post, or ask whether your business would match gifts today. I'd be grateful.
