"Congratulations and heart-felt thanks to NPP and Greg Speeter on a quarter-century of fantastic and unique work for peace and social justice! Your partnership, in the past, present and future, means a lot to us at Peace Action, at the national and grassroots levels. Onward!"
It's a time of celebration and a time of challenges at National Priorities Project. You already know about the current economic challenge and, yes, we're feeling it. We've also got a special challenge that is great news, but we need your help.
Here's the Challenge –
As National Priorities Project celebrates our 25th anniversary, three loyal donors have offered a very generous Challenge Gift of $45,000.They will match every single dollar given to NPP between now and September 30, up to $45,000.
Your donation today will be doubled by this Challenge Gift!
Join us in taking this challenge. Now is the time. We have the first opportunity since the end of the Cold War to reclaim the promise of a less militarized economy. Stand with us now as we move forward. We need you.
Can you increase your gift to NPP this year in honor of our 25 years of promoting social and economic justice through incisive federal budget analysis?
If you have been a supporter in the past, but haven't given to NPP in the last 18 months, will you come back with a contribution of $35 today?
We especially invite you to honor our founder, Greg Speeter, with your donation. After nearly 25 years as NPP's visionary executive director, Greg now has the role of Senior Advisor to our Networking and Training department. Greg is thrilled to be pursuing his passion for empowering the grassroots!

In our 25th anniversary year we have so much to celebrate!
NPP is THE “go-to” source for information on the local impact of federal spending.
Grassroots organizations use our online tools every day as they work for justice, health care reform, and a cleaner environment.
Our data regularly influence the recommendations of policy groups in Washington, DC in their work on peace and security issues, and military spending.
Your donation today will bring NPP's materials to marginalized and under-served communities hungry for ways to turn knowledge into power on the issues they care about. Focusing our resources across lines of race and class supports these groups in more effectively meeting their social change goals.
The contribution you make today will refresh our vast, one-of-a-kind database. Our interactive online database is the ONLY database in the U.S. that combines 25 years of federal spending data with 25 years of “needs indicators” that report social needs in local communities - the need for teachers, Head Start programs, the numbers of people living in poverty, hunger, and without health insurance.
NPP is as a dynamic bridge between think tanks and policymakers in Washington, and thousands of communities across the United States. Make a generous gift todayand strengthen this bridge, which is critical for a more vibrant democracy. Help us make your voices heard!
Double your gift to NPP by taking the challenge! Please give today.
Thank you for all you do. And thank you for your generosity to NPP!
Enjoy the end of summer!
All the best,
Beth
