[Massachusetts-NFB] Keep NFB Advancing--Give $25 Campaign and possibly win something amazing

Keep NFB Advancing: Give $25 Campaign: 


We recently launched the Keep NFB Advancing: Give $25 Campaign. This year's
theme-Keep NFB Advancing: Connections, Community, and Opportunity-reflects
what we build together as a Federation. Through strong relationships, an
engaged and growing community, and a shared commitment to expanding
opportunity, we continue to raise expectations and transform what is
possible for blind people.

The campaign will run from May 15 through July 7, 2026. Each contribution of
$25 provides one entry into our drawing, with the winner to be announced at
the national convention banquet. Participants will have the opportunity to
win roundtrip transportation to the 2027 National Convention, hotel
accommodations, registration, banquet tickets, and $1,000 in spending
money-or a $2,000 cash prize.

A key part of this effort is the role of Federation Connectors-members who
help grow our movement through personal outreach. We are asking members to
invite others to participate in the campaign. When a member brings in four
donors who each contribute $25 or more and credit that member for their
gift, the member will be entered into a special drawing for a BrailleNote
Evolve, generously provided by HumanWare. This is an opportunity not only to
raise funds, but to deepen engagement and expand our network of supporters.

Contributions to the campaign support four important funds that sustain and
strengthen our work. The Kenneth Jernigan Fund helps bring individuals to
their first national convention, supports leadership development, and more.
The SUN Fund serves as our rainy-day reserve, protecting the Federation in
times of need. The White Cane Fund provides flexible, unrestricted support
for our programs and priorities. The Jacobus tenBroek Memorial Fund supports
the property and infrastructure that makes our work possible.

Leaders are encouraged to share the campaign widely. Learn more at
nfb.org/give25. Contributions may be made at  <https://nfb.org/donate>
https://nfb.org/donate, and by phone at 410-659-9314, extension 2430, or by
mailing a check. Donors should indicate which fund they wish to support;
when in doubt, gifts to the White Cane Fund provide the greatest flexibility
to advance our mission.

 

 

Thank you,

Shara Winton

President, National federation of the Blind of Massachusetts
