Dear Friends,
In a very exciting development, Anna and John Sie, the founders of the Anna & John J. Sie Foundation, and Michelle Sie Whitten, the President of the Sie Foundation, have given “The Senate In Balance TM” a Challenge Grant in which they and the Democracy & Media Education Foundation (“DMEF”) have unconditionally agreed to fully match (i.e., 100%) any donations made to the project.
This dollar-for-dollar match means that every dollar you contribute will be doubled by an identical combined contribution to the project by the Sie Foundation (67%) and the DMEF (33%). We are seeking a total of $150,000 in matching funds so as to qualify for $100,000 from the Sie Foundation and an additional $50,000 via the efforts of the Democracy & Media Education Foundation.
We are humbled by the generosity of the Anna & John J. Sie Foundation and the wonderful support we are receiving from all members of the extended Sie Family --- a truly extraordinary group of people who care about our country and see “The Senate In Balance TM” as one way to begin to improve politics in America.
