Help keep NPI going strong for another year: Donate to support our work
About one week shy of a year ago, we hosted the first fundraising event we'd ever put on at Redmond Town Center. Speakers included Chip Hanauer, Major General Paul Eaton (Ret.) and Darcy Burner, now the executive director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus Foundation.
At that event, thanks to the generosity of readers like you, we were able to raise enough money to sustain our work for a year.
That year is now over and we need your help again to at keep the lights on, the bills paid, and ensure our website stays online.
So today, we're launching a spring fundraising drive.
Our goal is to raise five thousand dollars online by May 15th, 2009.
We know times are tough, and that's why we're not holding another big gala this May in a hotel. We want to be able to put more than ninety nine percent of all the funds we raise towards our operations, so that everyone who supports us can enjoy the greatest possible return on their investment.
Although we at NPI all work for no pay (NPI can't afford to provide any of its staff a salary, yet) and we don't have a big office building, we still have expenses.
It costs money to run our web network, or send staff to Camp Wellstone (which we did last week), or pay for our mobile broadband service, which allows us to cover important Northwest events from virtually anywhere, even from a boat or a train.
Without some money in the credit union, we can't do any of those things.
If you value our efforts to fight for legislation like the Homeowner's Bill of Rights, if you believe our region needs an organization working to bring new energy and creativity to progressive politics, if you agree our movement needs better ideas and a team of people fighting bad right wing ideas all the time (not just when elections happen), then we ask you to help us.
Every donation makes a difference, no matter how large or small.
Even $10 helps. One ten dollar donation is all it takes to renew our domain name, nwprogressive.org, for an entire year.
That's the power of ten dollars.
We've done what we can to make donating online easy. You don't need a PayPal account or an Amazon account - just a credit card. (We accept American Express as well as Visa and MasterCard). Once you fill in your billing address and credit card information, you're done. You can use this button to donate $25, right now:
Or head to our donation page to choose another amount. (At our donation page, you can also see what your dollars empower us to do).
If you prefer to donate by check, you may mail your donation to:
Northwest Progressive Institute
Post Office Box 264
Redmond, WA 98073
Over the next few days, you'll be hearing from other staff members about what the Northwest Progressive Institute means to them, and why they, like me, are committed to revolutionizing grassroots politics.
Our donation page is open 24x7; you have the freedom to make a donation at any level any time. Even if all you can give us is some spare change, that still helps us get a little bit closer to our goal of five thousand dollars.
Thanks for your support.
We can't continue our fight for progressive ideals without you.
