Two quick asks from equiticity
Dear Racial Equity Partner,
Good day and trust all is well for you and your family.
First, I am extending a heartfelt thank you to everyone who already donated to our fundraising campaign. Your financial support is dearly appreciated and makes our work possible.
On behalf of The Equiticity Racial Equity Movement, I am writing here with two quick asks:
Donate to Equiticity: We are extending our fundraising campaign through February 29, with the goal of raising an additional $50,000 from 250 donors. This incremental fundraising effort will help us close a significant budget shortfall. Please consider a donation of any size to our racial equity movement. DONATE HERE.
Join Equiticity's Fundraising Advisory Council: We are re-launching our Equiticity Fundraising Advisory Council and you are cordially invited to join us. The Council will help Equiticity advance our goal of achieving financial sustainability through comprehensive development and social enterprise strategies. Please join us virtually at our first introductory meeting of the year tomorrow, Friday, Jan 26 at 4pm PT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET. RSVP HERE.
Equiticity is a racial equity movement, operationalizing racial equity by harnessing our collective power through research, advocacy, programs, Community Mobility Rituals, and social enterprises to improve the lives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people in our society.
Equiticity’s vision is a mid- to large-size U.S. city where racial equity is fully integrated at the policy and legislative levels into every function, department, resource, and budget associated with the city’s operations, services, and programs. We envision Equiticity creating a U.S. city which serves as a global model for the rest of the world on showcasing how to normalize, prioritize, and operationalize a full-throated and unflinching commitment to racial equity, as an equitably moving flow of resources contributing to reducing violence, improving health, creating jobs, and ultimately making our neighborhoods and cities more liveable for Black, Brown and Indigenous people.
With your support, we will continue this critical work of transforming our society.
Help us at this time by 1) donating to our fundraising campaign and 2) joining our fundraising advisory council virtually tomorrow (Fri, Jan 26) at 6pm CT.
Please contact directly my Equiticity colleague Bonnie Logan, Senior Director of Development, to explore with Equiticity opportunities for higher levels of philanthropy, such as planned giving, major gifts, establishing an endowment, corporate sponsorships, and foundation grants.
Once again, I extend our sincere gratitude for your partnership on racial equity and racial justice.
Let's continue building together.
Warm regards,
Olatunji Oboi Reed
President & CEO, Equiticity
