RtR Community,

Today marks the start of Willamette Week's 2025 Give Guide and the first BIG GIVE DAY! If you missed the news, RtR has been selected to be a part of WW's Give Guide. It's their annual effort to raise funds and draw attention to the good works of local, vetted non-profits. This is a big deal for RtR because this is Oregon's biggest fundraising campaign of the year. Last year’s campaign raised $8,870,380 for 250 local nonprofits from 16,336 donors.

This is our first year involved and we've set a public goal to raise over $15,000 by Dec. 31. Also on a personal note, we're looking to add 500 new followers to our Instagram, and 50 new subscribers to our this newsletter. With your help, we believe can achieve these goals tenfold! Thank you for forwarding this email, sharing our IG posts, and donating to Respond to Racism. You can find us in the Give Guide under the Civil & Human Rights category, or click the link below to go directly to our Give Guide page.

What is a BIG GIVE DAY?

From now until the end of the year, there are 13 Big Give Days, in which every donation $10 or more on a Big Give Day will enter you in a raffle to win an exciting prize! Each winner is announced the following day. Today's BGD prize is a 6-month coffee subscription from Nossa Familia Coffee.

Are you 35 years old or under?

Vote by donating to causes you care about. The most votes wins.
The nonprofit in each category with the most 35 & Under donors will score an extra $1,000 each.

In solidarity, 

Troy
