I think giving to charity should be meaningful, impactful and fun. All the better if the organization makes it easy! Most importantly I want to feel that my contribution is really making a difference for the people/animals/rainforests (or whatever cause I am passionate about in that moment!).
I am LEV’s new Development Director and it is my goal to help connect you with the amazing work happening at LEV so giving to this organization is meaningful, impactful and fun for you. LEV is a statewide advocacy organization that is a respected and trusted voice in our community, with diverse funding ranging from individual donors to some of the largest foundations in our region. Fueled by gifts large and small, LEV is a citizen-supported organization working in the best interests of our kids.

February’s LEVerage Project
Our first project embodies so much of LEV’s strengths – we will be bringing a group of students to Olympia for a day so they are empowered to use their voices to bring about change. Our goal is to bring 50 students to the Capitol, many for the first time ever, to rally to focus on new revenue and minimizing cuts that hurt kids. Help us get them to Olympia – your contribution will support chartering a bus, lunch along with way, t-shirts to demonstrate their support and a full-day of advocacy training. But the real outcome will be more young advocates who are informed and inspired to speak up for kids.
Please consider donating $10, $25, $50 or $100 to help us reach our goal!
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about how you can support LEV’s efforts to improve education for ALL kids from cradle to career.
I’m just thrilled to hear about your LEVerage project!!!! What a great opportunity for our kids in the State! I’d be curious how teachers/students get connected with you. How do they find out about your program? People like me or how? It would be nice to see many students have the opportunity to see a hearing about this subject “education crisis”. Field trips to the woods are great but what a great idea for a field trip for a classroom. I know space is limited in the hearings but I really would like to see it grow into something like a field trip for students like they do for planting trees along river banks. Sorry…getting carried away with my ideas here!
Susan – Thanks for your great feedback on the project. You can email Maggie in our office at maggie@educationvoters.org if you want to get more involved. Maggie has worked with high school teachers to plan trips to Olympia and she would be happy to discuss the possibility with you!
