Sample Email Outreach Message
Dear Friends and Family,
As you may know, I am a Board member / staff member / supporter of Services for the UnderServed (S:US). S:US is an organization that provides safe homes and essential services to 37,000 of the most marginalized New Yorkers each year, including people living in poverty, people experiencing homelessness, and people with disabilities.
Through the new S:UStainers initiative, S:US is asking people to make a commitment to support the organization’s work for $1 a day, or a recurring gift of any amount. At a time when New York City is facing housing, cost-of-living, and mental health crises, the people S:US serves need more support now than ever before. Your gift will help S:US address these challenges through their broad range of services, including homelessness prevention, mental health, and food distribution programs.
To join today, visit https://sus.org/sustainer/. Thank you in advance for your support!
