Darien Book Aid Is Asking for Contributions to Help It Raise $5,000 for a Matching Grant
|
A “generous donor” has offered a matching gift to Darien Book Aid if the local nonprofit can raise $5,000 in May, so the organization is asking supporters to help reach that goal. “We are more than halfway to our goal,” Peggy Twitchell, president of the organization, said in a fundraising email sent out on Thursday, the half-way point of the month. “Thank you to those of you who have already given. Your doubled gift will impact the educational outcomes of so many individuals who currently don’t have access to important resources,” Twitchell wrote. She reminded supporters that Darien Book Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit “with the highest-level ‘Four-Star’ rating from Charity Navigator,” Charity Navigator is a charity assessment organization that evaluates hundreds of thousands of U.S. nonprofits.
