PEPS The
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has formally announced a new
investment in PEPS! The
Foundation has pledged $175,000 towards’ PEPS core programming and future
planning. This grant signals a critical show of support from the
philanthropic community.
This
pledge includes a fundraising challenge that will allow donors to join the
Foundation in supporting PEPS with gifts of $1,000 or more before October
15.
The
match applies to gifts from new donors, as well as to pledge payments from
current supporters. This is
an exciting opportunity to welcome more PEPS supporters to the major donor
level as well as to see our current donors’ gifts have twice the impact!
For more information, visit www.pepsgroup.org or call the PEPS
office at 206-547-8570. 3. Expecting Baby #2 or Have Newborn
Twins? PEPS has a group
just for you! Check the PEPS
website for more information about these specially-focused groups. Using the newborn model of meeting
in group members’ homes (both of these groups will be daytime groups) with
support from a volunteer trained PEPS facilitator, these groups help bring
folks together with special interests. These are not West
Seattle-specific
groups; they are
open to all Seattle and Eastside families. For more information, visit www.pepsgroup.org or call the PEPS
office at 206-547-8570. 4. Fabulous Family
