As giving Tuesday rapidly approaches many nonprofits wonder: Will our benefactors be able to help in this economic environment? The answer is consistent. Givers give; it is what they do.  You are receiving this message because you have shown a tremendous commitment to Beacon of Hope's mission and I would like to ask you to consider joining our Annual Fund Campaign.  Gifts to an Annual Fund are only a 1-year commitment.  An Annual Fund Campaign is an effort to secure an annual budget early in the year from early one time gifts or monthly commitments.

This year’s Annual Fund will focus on helping our organization reach our 2017 goals.

• This year the organization has set goals to equip our existing teams to reach at least 35,000 students in 2017, another increase from last year.
• We also look to provide a new training kit for a third team in Uganda and a second team in Johannesburg.
• Another goal for 2017 is to begin to transition Smart Choices teams towards being self-sufficient financially by directing them into their own fundraising projects throughout the course of the year. 

With your support, each of these goals can quickly become a reality. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 949.795.0042. I will be happy to discuss all of our giving options with you to find the best option for you. You can make a one-time or recurring gift by clicking the Give tab.

Anticipating that you will be able to join us in this year’s Annual Fund, I thank you for your support toward helping us continue to reach for even higher goals.

Thank you,
