Will you be 1 in 1,000?

The—Did you see Valerie’s note? There are just a few hours left to help us meet our critical fundraising goal before tonight’s midnight deadline. Reaching this goal will mean that we can continue helping the next generation become the leaders we need today in the new year.

We need 1,000 donors to join together and match an additional $50,000 gift. Please, be the one to help us reach our goal with a $25 gift before midnight tonight.

The, tomorrow is our biggest fundraising deadline of the year, and we still need your help to meet our $100,000 matching gift challenge goal.

I’m writing to you today because these are serious times, and we need support from people like you who care about the future of our country and our world, and who are ready to do the work to bring about change in 2026.

A group of generous donors has challenged us to match their $100,000 support. Please, make a $25 end of year gift before tomorrow’s deadline to have double the impact.

This next year is a big one for The Obama Foundation with the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. And this is a huge fundraising deadline: it closes out our fundraising goals for 2025 and helps us inform how we can invest in life-changing programs for the upcoming year.

Essentially, the more funds we can raise, the more we can do to give leaders around the world the tools to make change, from the halls of power to their own communities. And that has never been more important than right now.

Will you help us meet this moment with a $25 end-of-year gift before tomorrow’s midnight deadline?

Thank you for helping us meet this moment,

—Valerie
