Be The One: Fundraising Toolkit

Thank you for your dedication to fundraising for Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas! In an effort to increase our individual giving, we have created the “Be The One” campaign. We are tasking the community with making a gift of at least $200 or $20 a month to be included in our list of one safe adult for every child impacted by crimes against children in the cities, and counties of Denton, Wise, and Jack.

Below you will find tools to utilize as you spread the word to your sphere of influence. Our goal is to find 2,979 safe adults in Denton, Wise, and Jack!

Dear {insert Name},

I hope this email finds you well. As you know the mission of Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas is something I am passionate about.  I hope you will share that passion and join me in an opportunity to Be the One for kiddos in our community.  I am searching for safe adults in our community to support Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas. The Center has a long list of alleged perpetrators and is working hard to create a new list, a list of safe adults, and I can’t imagine having this list without you on it!

Children’s Advocacy Center is the only nonprofit in Denton, Wise, and Jack County that provides trauma-informed, wrap-around services to children and families who are impacted by these heinous crimes against children.

In 2023, 2,979 kids walked through the doors of Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas.  2,979!  That’s a long list.  We want to create a list of 2,979  safe adults in our communities that will support these kids who are victims of the unthinkable.  And we want your name on that list. 

{If you know the city in which this person lives, it would be great to add…} In your city of {insert city}, {insert # of children served} kids were served at CAC in 2023. Are you prepared to Be The One for the kids in your community?

It costs about $2,800 for a child to receive all six core services at our center. I am asking you today to help take the first step by making a gift of at least $200 or $20 a month to Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas and making the choice to Be the One for kids!

Please join me in fighting for our children,

{Your name}

Talking Points

  • We have a long list of victims and alleged perpetrators that no one likes to hear.

  • This year, we want to create a new list of hope, healing, and justice- a list of individuals who have committed to “Be The One” to help a child from their community take the first step on their journey to healing.

  • We are asking people in our communities to metaphorically take that first step with a child by donating at least $200 or a recurring gift of $20 a month.

  • It costs around $2,800 for a child to receive the full wrap-around services we provide. We are only asking for a portion of the total cost.

  • If someone you speak to would like some assistance making a gift, needs more information, or is interested in touring, please let Suzann or Michelle know, and we will reach back out.
