And that’s incredible. Indeed, we are especially proud of #GivingTuesday’s impact given that Bridge Alliance member 92Y created the concept!

That said, #GivingTuesday is just one day each year. It’s a very important day, but if our ultimate goal is healthy self-governance, we must work towards that goal year round.

There are so many ways to contribute toward a future of healthy self-governance, and you can be sure that we will continue presenting you -- our amazing supporters -- with possibilities and opportunities to act on your #GivingTuesday mindset every week for the foreseeable future.

Sincerely,

Bridge Alliance Education Fund
