Dear <<First Name>>,
 

Even though it’s 2019 there is still time to donate to our 2018 Annual Appeal! This is a wonderful opportunity to help NBO fulfill our mission: “to be an inclusive community of makers and enthusiasts whose purpose is to promote awareness, inspire creativity, and foster appreciation for the heritage and artistry of basketry”.

Memberships and earned revenue don’t cover the total cost. It is contributions from generous supporters like you that help us make up the 15% difference in our budget. We have almost reached our goal of $25,000. Please make your gift today.

 
Here are a few ways we will put your donation to work:
 
• Publishing our flagship magazine. Every issue is designed to inspire you, educate you and introduce you to talented basket makers.

• Continuing our exhibition program including our Members In Print exhibition which be a biennial program.

• Producing our Tenth Anniversary Conference. There’s an exciting group of workshops featuring nationally renowned instructors. 

• Keeping NBO an organization that is welcoming to everyone. Whether you are a maker, an enthusiast or perhaps both there is room in our group for you. We support your passion for the art and craft of basket making.
 
We are counting on you to help us with our work. The NBO board and staff want you on our team! Please send in your gift today. 
 
Happy 2019!
