I want to thank you for being an Ambassador in our End-of-Year Fundraising Campaign. In uncertain and overwhelming times, Project [BLANK] reminds us of art's power to inspire, connect, and transform. By fostering a vibrant, binational ecosystem of artists and audiences, we are putting San Diego on the map as a destination for world-class experimental art and music while providing critical economic opportunities for local artists. This work depends on the collective energy and support of our community. That’s why we are calling on you—our network of Ambassadors—to help us amplify this campaign. By sharing your personal experiences with Project [BLANK], you can help us connect with new supporters and ensure that we reach our goal of $35,000 by end-of-year. Together, we can create lasting change, right here in our community. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
Sincerely,
Leslie Ann Leytham, Artistic Director

Dear [SUPPORTER],
As this year comes to a close, I am taking the time to support an arts organization that is close to my heart: Project [BLANK]. Please join me in donating to the End-of-Year Campaign of this important nonprofit, where artists like myself find opportunities, kindness, empathy, and community.
Project [BLANK] started up during the pandemic with a vision of presenting a diverse collection of innovative performances by local artists. Since then, they have built a vibrant binational community of musicians, visual artists, and composers from San Diego and Tijuana. In the past year alone they presented the work of 120 artists – including me! [Feel free to add more details about your experience.]
Right now we are working to raise $35,000 to support this amazing organization, and thanks to a $27,000 match challenge, every dollar you give before the end of the year will be doubled! Every donation–no matter how small–is a tangible vote for the arts in our community. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
[AMBASSADOR NAME]

Dear [SUPPORTER],
I love our San Diego community, and as the end of the year approaches, I want to use my limited time and money to make a tangible, positive difference. Please join me in donating to Project [BLANK], a scrappy little arts organization that uses a shoestring budget to create groundbreaking performances unlike anything you’ve ever seen. They produce innovative chamber operas, performance art, art installations, and monthly experimental concerts that provide local artists with a much-needed platform, and the opportunity to just DO THEIR THING.
Last year alone Project [BLANK] presented the work of 120 musicians, visual artists, and composers from Southern California and Tijuana. They keep their ticket prices low and stage performances in non-traditional spaces, so that everyone can have access to the arts!
Right now we are working to raise $35,000 to support this amazing organization, and thanks to a $27,000 match challenge, every dollar you give before the end of the year will be doubled. Every donation–no matter how small–helps to make San Diego a bit more creative and inclusive. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
