Dear Beacon of Hope Supporters,
I am always amused at this time of the year when I see support letters from large non-profit organizations that need to raise a million dollars in the last few days of the year or need to reach their matching challenge total. I always wonder how much goes towards the mission and how much goes towards wages, rent, or other unnecessary luxuries. Your love gifts to Beacon of Hope are used in the most efficient way possible. We have no employees, no rent and very little overhead. Ninety five cents in every dollar goes directly to the mission! |

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. |
