The, please consider making an end of year gift today.

The—As we approach our critical fundraising deadline, I wanted to reach out to you personally.

I am asking you to make a matched donation to double your support for The Obama Foundation’s work before midnight, December 31. And I’d like to tell you why:

You are a part of The Obama Foundation community because you share the same belief as Michelle and me: that across this country and around the world, we can still see beyond our differences, listen to each other, and believe a better future is possible.

That’s what our young leaders believe too—and it’s why they’re working tirelessly to chart a better course.

Together, they’re showing us that a renewed commitment to democracy and ongoing investments in our own communities are the key ingredients for bringing change home. But they simply cannot do this work without support from people like you, The.

That’s why your $25 end of year gift is so important: it’s powering a new generation working to strengthen the bonds of trust and support a healthy democratic culture. It truly matters—and this is the moment when your impact can make all the difference.

I am personally asking you, The: please, make a special year-end gift to support The Obama Foundation’s work.

Believe me, you won’t want to wake up in the new year wishing that you had done more.

Thank you for everything that you do, and have a happy new year.

—Barack
