It's #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! Stick with me for this very short nonpartisan post... As fundraisers, we know firsthand how important government funding can be for the non-profits we support. Policy decisions can directly impact the resources available to the causes we care about. That's why registering to vote and making your voice heard is so crucial. Every vote shapes the future of funding, advocacy, and services. Take a moment to ensure you’re registered—your voice matters not just for the present, but for the future of the communities we serve. Make sure you're registered to vote! #RegisterToVote #MakeYourVoiceCount #NonProfitImpact #FundraisingForChange #CivicEngagement #Advocacy #VoteForChange #NonProfitLeadership #CommunityImpact

Some advice on how to do that is featured in today's On Message pair of memos from both perspectives. Links in the first comment below. #politicalemails #persuasion #humblyasking #nonprofitmessaging
