December is hectic for most of us. There are Christmas preparations, travel plans, family visits and much more. For our Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) team, it’s also the time we assess our resources as we make plans for the coming year.

At CAP, we know there are many deserving organizations asking for your support and we are humbled that so many of you have partnered with us as we take on critical issues affecting Arizona families. 

Over the past few weeks, we have sought to show you where your contributions have been invested this year, the efforts made, and the many successes achieved. We want you to know that we don’t ask for your commitment to us without keeping our commitment to you.

I hope you have had a chance to read about the many ways we have kept our promise to drive the conversation, expand our reach, and mobilize the grassroots. Through these real-life stories, we see the fruits of our labor and results of your support.

But there are so many unwritten stories ahead: The women spared the trauma of abortion, and the lives of their preborn babies saved; the business owner who would no longer be faced with choosing between his faith and his livelihood; and the parent who can finally afford to send their children to a private school where they can flourish.

If we have earned your support, if we have built trust and proven to be good stewards of our resources,

I ask you to commit or commit anew to partner with us as we prepare to take on the challenges and opportunities in the coming year. 

We firmly believe God has called us to this effort – to be your advocates – and we know we are only part of his plan. Please consider what role you can play in the goal to make abortion unthinkable in Arizona, where the family holds its rightful value, and where religious freedom is honored.

Please consider making a significant end of year, tax-deductible donation to CAP and join us in this advocacy for Arizona families.

We commit to you to be careful stewards of your gifts, and we recommit to you to make a difference together for the freedoms we can all enjoy as Arizonans in 2017.

Thank you, again, for putting your trust in us, for choosing CAP as a partner in championing the issues that matter to us all!

For life, marriage and family, and religious freedom,

Cathi Herrod, Esq.
President
