A postcard gave one voter a reason to vote
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, our volunteers have been busy with voter contact. [Name] had skipped the last three local elections, until a postcard from us gave the date, the polling place and a reason to vote.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 to print, address and mail 1,000 postcards to local voters, at about $1 each. Each one carries the election date, the polling place and where our candidates stand.
Giving Tuesday is next week, and early gifts build momentum. If you'd like to come back with a gift now, it lets us start on the first walk list.
