It’s been a great month for One Safe Place. Sierra Pacific Foundation recently pledged $1 million toward our goal of building a new Shelter and Client Services Center by Fall of 2015. Our total project goal is $5 million. Words cannot express how excited and grateful we are for Sierra Pacific’s support and leadership in making our community a safer place. Since the announcement last week, reaction from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. This project is just the beginning of making a real and lasting change in our community. Feel free to call my business phone, 244-0118 x203, if you have any questions.
The $1M pledge will be paid incrementally over the next five years, and the funds are dedicated exclusively to our new Shelter Project. While we are working on this capital campaign, we still need to raise money to support our current programs and activities. Nearly 35%, or $600,000.00, of our annual operating income comes from community and foundation donations. We hope you will continue to support us as we proceed with the everyday work of changing people’s lives.
So, while this generous pledge is tremendously exciting news, we don’t have any plans to slow down. We’re going to keep charging forward until all of us can celebrate a community free of domestic and sexual abuse. Thank you for being a part of our work, and thank you for caring enough to get involved.
Warm regards,
Jean King
