Exciting News from the Fundraising Team!
By S. Fran Hoffman
Thank you to all those who participated in the Spring Lunch and Learn event about Women’s Incarceration and EXPO’s SAFE House, presented by Delilah McKinney. We are pleased to report that $1,800 was raised for MOSES. In addition, The SAFE House received several donations from our guests.
Recently, the Fundraising Team was thrilled to receive the news that we had received two grants for which we had applied. First, in recognition of S. Joan Duerst’s advocacy within MOSES, the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters awarded MOSES $7,500 to support our community organizer. Congratulations, S. Joan!
And, for the second time in two years, the Evjue Foundation approved a grant of $10,000 for MOSES. This grant will support our community organizer’s role in building relationships internally and externally within our three task forces — MOSES Justice System Reform Initiative, Racial Justice for All Children, and Public Safety. For each task force, we described its current activities, as well as MOSES’s commitment to diversity in challenging the root causes of mass incarceration and its racial disparities. Congratulations to all those engaged in this work!
As the Fundraising Team celebrates these awards, we take the opportunity to remind you of the importance of the contributions you make through the Sustaining Membership Program. We want to acknowledge that those monthly gifts provide for the continuing daily operation of our organization, and we ask that you continue your commitment as you are able. Sustainers, thank you!
