Friends,
Quaker Voice has carefully maintained stability and modest growth over many years. Our work with the Quaker Voice Legislative Advocates is essential, helping us affirm Quaker values into state law.
Today our financial situation is healthy, however, not sustainable. As with any non-profit, our donor base fluctuates. Good stewardship requires us to reach out to donors from time to time to undergird our work.
We have a plan. Over the next fiscal year (October 2024 through September 2025), Quaker Voice board members and citizen activists will reach out to new, current, and lapsed donors, asking them for new or increased financial commitment. Some long-time friends of Quaker Voice are stepping up to match 1:1 this year the increase from any donations made in the previous fiscal year, with an additional 1:1 this year for any increases that are set up on an automatic, recurring basis. That, of course, means that a $4,000 increase in donations will yield an $8,000 increase in income this year, or more. Next year, we may need to build further.
This step is not taken lightly. Quaker Voice is healthy because of your commitment of time, talent, and treasure. Our goal is to create a reinvigorated and stable financial foundation for years to come.
Thank you for joining this effort,
The Quaker Voice Board
