Help us keep the lights on!

I hate fundraising, or at least I used to hate it.  But I learned a very important lesson during a recent Wellstone Action training:  if you aren't comfortable soliciting donations for your organization, you should probably re-think what you are doing and find some other way to make a living.

Because if you believe in your cause, and you believe your organization can do something to further your cause, why WOULDN'T you ask for donations? How else are you going to get the job done?

So I'm asking.

I believe in Make It Count, and I believe we can make a difference.

Just this past week we were able to sleuth out the NC State Board of Elections policy on postmarks and absentee ballots. Now we can take action that will potentially save some votes. That's pretty cool!

Can we get a commitment to fund some basic infrastructure?

I've done some research and made some calculations. Between now and election day, we will need somewhere between $1,880 and $3,130 (depending on what bells and whistles we can afford) in order to fund our web site and email database. That's just the bare bones of what we want to accomplish, but you have to start somewhere.

You can make a donation on our web site at the following link: http://www.makeitcount.vote/#!donate/c1ze0.  If you would rather send us a check, our mailing address is also listed on that page.

Please consider a small donation of $10, $15, or $25 and help us continue the work we've begin. We promise to make it count!
