Wow, that is an amazing offer to match up to $5000 in donations! Very
generous. Let's get the word out!

We can definitely put something up on social media for this! I talked with
Kat and Warren last night, and I’m going to make a little shareable graphic
to go on our social media pages and website. It won’t include that we are a
part of Giving Tuesday (since we don’t have time to apply and become
officially verified), but we can follow along in the spirit of Giving
Tuesday, since we are a local nonprofit with a donor who’s willing to match
up to $5K, which we will put towards the purchase of a new trailer.
I don’t see anything wrong with sending a email today and again on Tuesday.
It’s the first time I can remember us ever getting such a generous donation
match offer!

Hi board,
For Giving Tuesday - I was planning on sending a followup financial email
sometime this week reminding people ways they can support ACWE, and also
mention that Tuesday is Giving Tuesday
*However* - We have had a member of ACWE generously offer to match any
donations the band gets for Giving Tuesday, up to $5K!!!!
So - My new plan is to send that email today, mentioning ways people can
support ACWE, and also about the Giving Tuesday match. I'll try to send a
reminder email about Giving Tues on Monday, and then announce at rehearsal
break on Tues. (If y'all think that's too many emails asking for money let
me know, I just don't want people to forget)
Is it possible to advertise this (and ask for donations) on our social media
pages too?
Thanks!
Melissa

Giving Tuesday is in ONE WEEK (November 29). I'm not sure if we have time
to jump on board the actual event, but we may want to use that day as a
"hard press" to solicit donations via all social media, with a direct link
to the Donate page of the ACWE website.
