While the weather is certainly giving us a reprieve from the normally oppressive August-in-Illinois heat and humidity, the dog days of summer are taking quite a toll on the donations necessary to sustain IFI.
The Illinois Family Institute relies solely on the support of generous individuals to accomplish its work. Summer, as usual, is a financially difficult time for us — yet our pro-family work and ministry does not slow down. These are very busy days, weeks and months here at IFI. In fact, I cannot remember a busier month of July than the one we just finished.
If you appreciate what we do and want to help support the mission of Illinois Family Institute, please consider this appeal for your participation. The easiest way to back our work is to become a Sustaining Partner (aka monthly donor). Donations ranging from $25 – $250 a month help us tremendously as it builds a predictable source of income we can count on. This equips us and strengthens us to fight in the public square for all of our families, and the values we cherish.
Sustaining Partners enable us to keep telling the truth.
The alerts, lobbying, cultural commentaries, special forums, videos and podcast all require money; and frankly, we need a considerable amount of it if we hope to be effective, to circumvent the deceitful media, and to counter the lies and the ugly agenda of the Left. A serious budget enables us to be more effective and to educate even more people. Moreover, recurring contributions mean that we can focus on the important work before us, and we don’t have to keep spending valuable time raising funds.
Your monthly donations are secure and flexible. You choose the amount you wish to give each month and you can change, or cancel, your pledge at any time. Sign up now and make your first donation by credit card online.
Throughout the year, we are engaged in projects, educating lawmakers and the Christian community and scheduling events that I sincerely believe will equip, encourage and activate Christians in our state, and make Illinois a better place for us and for our families.
We are working for a more decent society — one that cherishes, encourages, and protects religious and political freedom, and one that strengthens the most basic building block of any society… the family.
We are blessed to have a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” But our form of government has one key requirement: our participation. We need you to be involved with us to be a part of the solution.
Not only would we like to bring on additional full-time staff this fall, but we have three significant events are planned for the in September and October, and we need sponsors for to help underwrite our costs.
If you are not able to become a Sustaining Partner at this time, would you please consider making a one time donation today?
