A first Thursday by the door, and a $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] came to our Thursday group for the first time, sat by the door, and by the end of the hour had shared a few words. That's what peer support, built on lived experience, looks like in a small room.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 to keep the group free every Thursday evening for the next five months. That covers 20 meetings, at about $50 each for the room, printed materials and refreshments.
Would you join us with an early gift? It builds momentum for the day itself: [Donation link]
Thank you for being part of this.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and I'm asking you to help [Org name] reach one goal: $1,000.
[Donation link]
That money keeps our Thursday evening peer support group free for the next five months. Each meeting costs about $50 for the room, printed materials and refreshments, so the goal covers 20 meetings.

Every dollar goes to the program because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits. #GivingTuesday
