Kicking off the Fall Fundraising Campaign

As you may have noticed from a few of our recent blog entries, we are in the midst of our annual Fall Fundraising Campaign.  This year's campaign is especially important, because the work we do these next couple months will determine whether we are able to meet the ambitious goals we set for ourselves three years ago to increase the size and capacity of our organization.  Chief among these goals was to increase our membership from ~2,000 members to 5,000 members, and in increase our  grassroots fundraising to $200,000 a year by the end of 2007.  These changes would allow for us to become a much larger political force in the state, especially when we push for good legislation in Frankfort.

We have since met incremental goals in the last two years, vastly expanding our member and fundraising base, building up our final push this year.  Our Fall Fundraising Campaign this year will include a mailing to all of our members, asking for a donation beyond their normal membership dues.  We will also be hosting a number of house parties and friendraisers around the state. 

We urge anyone who wants to agrees with our vision to make a donation of whatever you can afford to Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.  Tell your friends about our work, encourage them to become members also.  Our strength grows with each new member.  Let's go to Frankfort next year with 5,000 members at our backs!
