We made it!

KFTC Staff on December 27, 2012 in , Fundraiser

With thousands of donations of all sizes from KFTC members and friends, we reached our goal of raising $200,000 this fall.

Thanks so much to all of you who pitched in! Together, we can do so much more than any of us can do alone.

If you'd still like to make a tax-deductible donation to Kentucky Coalition before the end of the year, click here.

Almost there!

KFTC Staff on December 20, 2012 in , Fundraiser

We are so close. Only a short $12,309 dollars shy of our fall $200,000 goal. The money we raise helps us do this work every day, all year long.    We will reach our goal because supporters like you will pitch in $15, $30, $45 and more. If we've talked to you this fall and you said you would pitch in, but your check hasn't hit the mail, it's as easy as following this link.    To show our appreciation, we'll send a new KFTC hoodie to the person whose donation bumps us to our goal. So be the one who makes that very important and very lucky contribution in these final days of 2012!   If you'd rather not count on good luck but still want a hoodie, call Morgan at 606-878-2161 or email her ([email protected]) to order.
