[MN-at-Large] Our Affiliate Wants to help Triple Your Money

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

Dear Minnesotans of the Federation:

 

Each year, thousands of Federation members and friends contribute before and
during the National Convention to various funds that support blind people. 

For every $25 that you as a Minnesota member give to the  Keep NFB
Advancing: Give 25
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=45>  campaign
through June 26, three things will happen: 

*       The Minnesota affiliate will match your contribution (up to a total
of $6,000) 

*       Aira, the visual interpreting service, will match your contribution
(up to a total of $25,000) 

*       You’ll be entered into a drawing to have your convention expenses
paid for next year (and just in case you can’t go, you could just walk away
with $2,500 in cash!)

Your support helps bring first time attendees to the national convention,
raises expectations, and expands opportunities for blind people nationwide.

You must either mail a check to the affiliate or forward us a copy of your
receipt to Jennifer Dunnam ( jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com
<mailto:jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com> ) so that the NFB of Minnesota can
match your gift. Up to $6,000 from individuals is matched by up to $6,000
from the affiliate treasury!


To donate: 


1.              Give online
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=45>   or call
Treasurer Jenifer Dunnam at 612-203-2738 for assistance 

OR

2.              Mail a check by following these steps:

A.             Make the check payable not to the Minnesota affiliate but
instead to the National Federation of the Blind

B.             List the fund(s) to which you wish to contribute in the memo
line

C.             Send the check to the National Federation of the Blind of
Minnesota, 2801 Hennepin Avenue S. #126, Minneapolis, MN 55408-1907. The
treasurer will collect the checks until June 26, then mail all the checks,
along with the affiliate's matching check, to the national office. 

Most importantly, we must receive a copy of your donation receipt or check
by June 26 to be included in the Minnesota match. You should email your
receipt to our treasurer, Jennifer Dunnam ( jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com
<mailto:jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com> ) and follow up if you don’t get a
confirmation reply.

Here is a little more about the four funds:

*       White Cane Fund: These dollars go directly to the general treasury
of the Federation.

*       Kenneth Jernigan Fund: The proceeds from this fund are used to
bring a number of attendees to their first national convention. It is
named in honor of our former president and longtime leader to promote
attendance at the national convention, where so much inspiration and
learning occur. 

*       SUN Fund: These funds are being set aside in the event that they
are needed to support the Federation during difficult times. 

*       tenBroek Fund: These dollars go to the tenBroek Memorial Fund which
owns the property at 200 East Wells at Jernigan Place in Baltimore for the
benefit of blind people. 

Thank you in advance; your contributions make the important work we do at
all levels possible!
