<<First Name>>,

Pomegranate Center fosters strong, connected communities by teaching an inclusive approach to public processes, what we call the Pomegranate Method. If you've been through our training, you know that participants build confidence as collaborative leaders who can counteract the "us" vs "them" dynamic that typically plagues community engagement. During this year’s GiveBIG campaign on May 9th, we want to raise funds to provide greater access to our introductory Pomegranate Method training.

Your GiveBIG donation will allow us to expand our reach by bringing our training and mentorship programs to diverse communities throughout the Pacific Northwest, helping them transcend their differences and collectively shape their future. Now is an especially good time to give because your donation will be matched by a generous grant from one of our supporters. That's an easy way to double your impact!

And GiveBIG is not just one day. You have even more time to give. This year, you can support us by scheduling an early donation for GiveBIG as soon as Thursday, April 26th. That's today! Your early gift will help us jump start the day and encourage others to give.

• Where to give: givebigseattle.org

• When to give: April 26th–May 9th

• How to give: Create an account and select Pomegranate Center!

Funds raised during GiveBIG will make it possible for us to continue our work building a network of communities with the capacity for collaborative action.

Yours in community,

Eric Higbee
Executive Director | Pomegranate Center

P.S. As an added bonus, the Seattle Foundation will randomly select donors giving to any organization through GiveBIG, and will give the organization an additional $2,500!
