Better Together: EENC's Annual Giving Campaign

Thank you, EENC community – on #GivingTuesday, we came together to raise an outstanding $2,567 to fuel our work into 2024! (And mind you, that's *before* our dollar-for-dollar matching grant has been applied to double that total!)

But the Annual Campaign is still far from over: we need your continued enthusiasm and support to help us reach our $25,000 campaign goal and unlock every dollar of our matching grant, to end 2023 with a $50,000 launchpad into the new year. So tell a friend, spread the word, make a donation – because we're better together.  

Today, 11/28 is #GivingTuesday: an annual celebration of charitable giving unleashing the power of people to transform their communities and the world. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, that idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. 

This GivingTuesday, join in the generosity movement by making a donation to EENC’s Annual Campaign: We’re Better Together. With an amazing $25,000 match promised, we’re bringing our community together to reach our $25,000 goal, realizing the full match and boosting our funds and future by $50,000 before the end of the year. 

In addition to helping us unlock every dollar of our matching grant, GivingTuesday is an excellent time to give because it puts us in the running for special prizes from our fundraising platform, MightyCause. Help put EENC on the leaderboard and in the running for prize drawings with a donation – bonus points for gifts given during the time-restricted (Power Hour and Golden Ticket) prize windows! See all the prizes EENC is eligible for during the MightyCause GivingTuesday event below, and join in the fun – because we're better together.
