12. Why Fundraising for RESULTS Matters12
Why Fundraising for RESULTS Matters
To RESULTS:
Volunteers are a critical part of our fundraising story. From our inception, RESULTS has depended on, and been supported by, our grassroots donors.
These unrestricted funds allow RESULTS to maintain our independence to work on the issues and strategic projects where we will have the most impact.
You help us extend the reach of our message, bringing more people into the movement to end poverty.
To Your RESULTS Group:
Fundraising for RESULTS can be an extension of your advocacy work and can raise your group’s visibility in your community.
Fundraising gives groups clearly defined ways to form partnerships with other organizations, and can be a “hook” for reaching out to your members of Congress and media contacts.
Sharing about RESULTS and highlighting your group’s accomplishments during fundraising campaigns attracts new members.
Participating in a fundraising event or Friends and Family Campaign solidifies your group and further engages current activists.
To You:
Fundraising empowers you to clearly articulate your values and why you personally invest in the work of RESULTS with your time and money.
Fundraising asks us to look at our relationship with money and the part we play in how it shapes the world.

Subject: Launching my Virtual Thanksgiving Feast Fundraiser
Dear Friends and Family,
As you may know, I am a grassroots advocate with RESULTS – a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together, we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.
Share your RESULTS Story:
How long have you been an advocate?
What issues are most important to you?
How have you made an impact as a RESULTS advocate?
Right now, I am participating in the Virtual Thanksgiving Feast, a fundraising campaign to support RESULTS and the work that I do as an advocate. My goal is to raise $XXX by Thanksgiving Day.
This campaign is important to me because…
I believe all children should be able to reach their full potential. Malnutrition is the single biggest killer of children globally and millions more children experience irreversible stunting due to malnourishment…
At RESULTS we work to mobilize resources and to improve policies to protect and strengthen SNAP to help end poverty in America – or – end preventable maternal and child deaths. Giving to my Virtual Thanksgiving Feast Campaign supports my work, and the work of volunteer advocates across the country, to influence political decisions through meeting with members of Congress, writing op-eds, and mobilizing our communities.
You can make your donation on my fundraising page at today.
Thank you! Your Name
