Our first Big Fat Thank You of 2025!
By Amanda Cooper, NAAFA Board Chair and Tigress Osborn, NAAFA Executive Director
We asked you to help us Fund Fat to end 2024 with a bang. And, wow, did this community answer the call!
Not only did we meet our $15,000 goal and receive a $15,000 match from our friends at Burnt Toast, we exceeded the goal!
$22,804 from our community + $15,000 from Burnt Toast
Thanks to the Burnt Toast community (aka the Burnt Toasties) and our long-time NAAFA supporters teaming up together to spread the word, we reached so many people! This led to 210 contributions from first-time donors! NAAFA friends who’d already made one-time gifts this year turned those into two-time gifts (or more!), and members of the NAAFA POD who already make monthly donations added a little more to help us exceed our goal. Plus, we added 17 new Passionate Ongoing Donors who we can now count on to join the other POD members in giving throughout the year.
Thanks to each and every one of you who supported our year-end fundraiser! Special thanks to Virginia Sole-Smith for the $15,000 Burnt Toast match!
We know many of you are anxious about what 2025 will bring given the political landscape we will have to navigate. We’re worried, too, but our sleeves are rolled up and our spirits are fired up. We’re resistant and resilient, and this show of solidarity from our community means so much to us as we gear up to fight for fat freedom and all freedom. Thank you for providing us with more resources for the fight!!
