The Common Ground 2012 Appeal
Jim Kenney - 8/10/2010 10:51:09 AM
Dear Friend of Common Ground,
Once again, we’re prevailing on your understanding and your long-term commitment to Common Ground as a precious community resource, to ask for your continuing support. We know you appreciate a straightforward message, so here it is. CG needs to raise at least $125,000 each fiscal year. Our tuition fees cover less than one-third of the cost of keeping our programs first-rate and our doors wide open. That means that we need at least two gifts of $10,000 or more, five at $5,000, twenty at $1,000, thirty at $500, one hundred at $250, and two hundred gifts of at least $100.
Sounds daunting doesn’t it? And yet, we’re confident that the Common Ground family will continue to rise to the challenge – and to the opportunity – to make a real difference in our own lives, in our community, and in the larger world. CG’s long relationship with the global Interreligious Engagement Project (IEP21), headed by Jim Kenney, was recently formalized in a merger agreement that brought IEP21 under the wing of Common Ground, enriching both our local organization and our global outreach efforts.
And our programming continues to be simply exceptional. We know that those who cherish the CG experience want to keep it flourishing. We can and we will…with your help. We ask that you consider enhancing your level of support by selecting the appropriate level for your annual giving to Common Ground. The Donors Honor Roll will be posted in the CG Center and on our web site.
• Platinum — $5,000 and up
• Gold — $2,500 – $4,999
• Silver — $1,000 – $2,499
• Bronze — $250 – $999
• Friends — Up to $249
Please join us in providing for the future of Common Ground, where the world truly comes together.
Peace,
Jim Kenney
