Donate NOW to DOUBLE your contribution &  sustain CFPA's High Impact Peacemaking after a "Dry Summer"!

CFPA had a busy organizing summer in 2024, with four major events from June to August. We also continued having advocacy meetings with Congresspersons and/or their staffers, as well as e-alerts to help you quickly email or call your elected representatives in support of those. Click our Recent Events page and scroll down to see summaries, photos, and videos of those to review CFPA's high impact peacemaking during the summer.

But the summer was again a very "dry" time for CFPA's fundraising. We had to spend almost $25,000 more than income received in July and August. So funding for continuing our Peace Voter 2024 Campaign to impact the critical November Election, and for other organizing for the remainder of the year, is substantially reduced. 

I'm excited to share that to help ramp up our finances to meet the challenges this fall--including our Peace Voter Campaign, several generous CFPA donors have pledged a Matching Challenge of $12,500! So your donation NOW will be DOUBLED up to that amount! If YOU help us meet that Challenge, we will have fully recovered financially!

I'm writing now to ask that you click here or below to DOUBLE your contribution to CFPA. Donating now as generously as you can gives us the financial resources to sustain our high impact peacemaking into the fall and for the rest of the year. 

Below are ways you can maximize your donation and have it DOUBLED for our crucial Fall organizing: 

• You can make what would normally be your end of year donation early, so it can be doubled!
   
• If you already contributed your 2024 membership, you can become a monthly or quarterly pledger to substantially increase your annual giving. The total pledged gift from now until year end will be DOUBLED! If you pledge $25 per month, your $100 total by December will be doubled to $200!
   
• If you haven't yet contributed your 2024 membership, join NOW to have it doubled. You won't be asked for a renewal until 2025.
   
• You can designate the Required Minimum Distribution for your IRA, which takes effect when you turn 72, to our tax deductible Peace Action Education Fund! Contact your plan administrator to arrange for this.

If you prefer to postal mail a check, use address below my name and put "Matching Challenge" in the notation section. For tax deduction, make payable to Peace Action Education Fund, or PAEF.  

P.S. I'm also excited to announce that Jeffrey Laurenti was unanimously elected to be the new CFPA Board Chair as of September 1. Outgoing Chair Irene Etkin Goldman, who we honored last December for 20 years as Board Chair, remains on the Board as Chair Emerita. Click preceding link to learn more!

Sincerely,

The Rev. Robert Moore
