Subject: Celebrating the Success of our Fundraising Gala and Expressing Our Gratitude
On behalf of Voice of Iran, I am thrilled to share with you the incredible results and accomplishments that were made possible by your generous donation at our recent fundraising gala. Your steadfast support has truly made a difference, and we are immensely grateful for your contribution.
Our goal for the fundraising gala was to raise funds to $10,000. I am thrilled to inform you that, thanks to the collective efforts of our passionate donors and dedicated volunteers, together, we raised a total of $7400 in donations, which is a remarkable achievement.
(Expenses for the evening will come from the total).
Your contribution played a significant role in this success, and we cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for your unwavering support. Your generosity will have a direct and lasting impact on amplifying the voice of the voiceless people in Iran who are fighting for their freedom and making our dream for our country happen.
I am pleased to share our plan for utilizing the funds raised during the gala. The proceeds will be allocated as follows:
- The first area of expenditure is multiple billboards in different parts of Seattle (static and digital) with high impressions for the duration of one month from Aug 15 to September 16th (Mahsa’s murder anniversary) to raise awareness about the ongoing fight of our people in Iran. We were able to get a good deal for multiple billboards, by shopping around. We were given a non-profit discount.
- In the meantime we are planning to start a “Woman Life freedom” 5K run, to involve more people and the media coverage to amplify the voice of people in Iran.
- Third plan will be arranging multiple murals in our city conveying the message of our revolutionary fight with the dictatorship of the Islamic Republic, and the assault on human rights abuses by the regime, which will be done with a grand opening and media coverage. Although this is currently beyond our budget, we will be working with building owners, Chamber of Commerce and local artists to make this a reality.
We are committed to ensuring complete transparency and accountability in the allocation of funds, and we will keep you updated on the progress and outcomes of the initiatives supported by your donation. Your trust and faith in our organization mean the world to us, and we want you to feel confident that your contribution is being utilized effectively to make a tangible difference.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your support, which enables us to continue our vital work. We firmly believe that together, we can bring about positive change and create a brighter future for those in need. Your generosity and commitment to our cause inspire us to strive for excellence every day.
If you have any questions, require further information, or would like to get involved in our future endeavors, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would be delighted to discuss our initiatives and explore opportunities for collaboration.
Thank you again for your invaluable contribution. We look forward to keeping you updated on the impact of your generosity.
With profound gratitude,
VOICE OF IRAN
