Week #1: Oct. 31st

 

Subject: Be part of Give Local 2018!

Dear [Insert Name],

Because of my commitment to a clean and healthy Thurston County, I’m enthusiastic about the work of Thurston Climate Action Team (TCAT), and ask that you to consider donating to their Give Local campaign: “Help TCAT Build a Strong Local Climate Movement.”  [Add other personal reasons for your commitment to local climate action here.]

From October 31st through November 20th, TCAT is joining The Community Foundation and 75 local nonprofits for “Give Local,” raising money to benefit the residents of South Puget Sound. I’m asking you to consider making a donation to our campaign, “Help TCAT Build a Strong Local Climate Movement.” 

When you give to TCAT, you fund vital programs such as:

  •      South Sound Climate Action Convention, a forum for teaching, learning, organizing and visioning our local response to climate change.
  •      Thurston Greenhouse Gas Inventory used by local governments to set climate goals and actions;
  •      Climate Action Coordinating Council of local environmental organizations working collaboratively to prevent competition between organizations;
  •      TCAT Weekly Newsletter informing more than 800 subscribers about developments in our local fight for a livable climate, and including a collaborative Community Calendar of local climate events.

Here’s how you can help TCAT build a strong local climate movement:

  1. Go to this link between October 31 and November 20th, and make a donation
  2. 2.Help spread the word by sharing TCAT and the Give Local event on Facebook and Twitter and using the hashtags: #GiveLocalSPS and #GiveWhereYouLive

Thank you for all you do for our community.

Sincerely,
