A Giving Tuesday form that worked
You Matter 2's Giving Tuesday form, built free on Zeffy

- 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.

From the back row to a second meeting
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] sat in the back of our first meet-up, unsure about meeting a mentor. By the end, [Name] had plans to meet again next week.
That's what a mentor match can do. On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 to match 20 local teens with a trained mentor for their first 3 months, at $50 per match.
Would you come back with an early gift this week? Gifts that arrive early build momentum, and they help us tell more teens a mentor is waiting.
