This #GivingTuesday
Show Your Support for ESTHER

If we work together, we can make things better! Help us build our financial strength as an organization, so that we can be a force for positive change in our community for years to come.

Will you consider supporting ESTHER this #GivingTuesday?

Yes, I’ll Help!

For 18 years, ESTHER members have been working tirelessly to tackle the challenges that face us in building a better world: challenges like racism, mass incarceration, childhood poverty, unfair immigration laws, gun violence, gerrymandering, voter suppression … and so many more. We do this by working WITH people who are most affected by these issues and building public support for common-sense approaches.

We raise up, train and support leaders in their communities. We advocate for systemic changes that make our community better for everyone who lives here. We educate the public through forums, films, speakers, and other events. We educate ourselves through intensive self-study and reflection.

This #GivingTuesday, help us stay strong financially, so we can keep on building community, sharing hope, and standing for justice in the coming months and years.

Yes, I’ll Help!

Thank you!

Wow! THANK YOU to all those who contributed to the 2021 ESTHER challenge match campaign, which ended on December 31.

When everything was counted, during the last quarter of 2021, 50 people either made new contributions or increased their support during 2021 over 2020, for a total of $5,115 in response to the $5,000 challenge pool!

We are so grateful for such a wonderful response to this campaign during these challenging times. Your support helps ensure we can have even greater impact as we work to share hope, build community, and stand for justice.

Help ESTHER Double Its Impact!

With less than a day left in 2021, time is running out for ESTHER to claim a $5,000 challenge grant that can double new or increased contributions received before December 31.

We’re very close to claiming the entire $5,000 challenge, thanks to generous support from so many friends of ESTHER. But we’re not there yet!

Your gift today can help put us over the top. Will you consider financial support of ESTHER before midnight tonight, Friday, December 31?

Yes, I'll Help!

In these times, when there are so many negative challenges, it’s wonderful to have this positive challenge—an opportunity to help make ESTHER stronger for the work of the future.

For 17 years, ESTHER members have been working tirelessly to tackle the challenges that face us in building a better world: challenges like racism, mass incarceration, childhood poverty, unfair immigration laws, lack of adequate public transportation … and so many more. We tackle these challenges by working WITH people who are most affected by them. We raise up, train and support leaders in their communities. We advocate for systemic changes that make our community better for everyone who lives here. We educate the public through forums, films, speakers, and other events. We educate ourselves through intensive self-study and reflection.

Will you help us do more, by responding by December 31 to this challenge grant opportunity

Yes, I'll Help!

See our progress here.
