One day left: Give now to make two times the impact for children

Dear John,

There is only one more day to raise $25,000 by midnight on Dec. 31, with your impact DOUBLED by a generous donor’s gift. Thanks to community members just like you, we’re already well on the way there.

But close isn’t good enough—not when the futures of so many vulnerable children are on the line. We need to REACH or SURPASS our goal and leverage every dollar that we can. With one day left in the December Match Challenge, will you step up with a gift of $10 or more?

I want to remind you of what’s at stake for our children and what your role can be in helping them:

The Problem: Inequality of Opportunity

There are 5.5 million young children living in poverty in America—the majority of whom don’t have access to high-quality early learning. Double your gift to provide them with access to high-quality early learning experiences.

The Impact: Performance Gaps

By age 3, a child with parents of a lower socio-economic status has heard about 3 million words. A child with parents of higher socio-economic status will have heard about 11 million words. Make a gift of $10 or more so that you can stop academic performance gaps from taking root.

The Solution: Early Intervention

The Ounce works to provide children from under-served communities with quality education and learning experiences EARLY in life. That’s when you can make the biggest difference for them, their family, and their community with your gift today.

The Action: Help Break the Cycle of Poverty

We rely on support from donors like you. Make a gift to the Ounce before midnight tomorrow so that it can be doubled in impact to go twice as far.

Your commitment to the Ounce brings us closer to our goal of ensuring that children living in poverty have the best possible start in life.

GIVE NOW FOR 2X THE IMPACT

Rush your tax-deductible donation of $10 or more today to ensure it is DOUBLED. We must receive your gift by MIDNIGHT tomorrow to make TWICE the impact on reshaping our communities one child at a time.

Sincerely,
Johanna Vetter
