JÓVENES ADELANTE ANNOUNCES:

US $20,000 CHALLENGE GRANT for 2020 Sponsorships*

EXPIRES December 25th, 2019
Dear JA supporter,
 
I am so thrilled to be able to announce the kick off to our 2020 Sponsorship campaign with a time-limited and restricted challenge grant. The anonymous challenge grant is open for anyone NOT currently a JA sponsor so please SHARE!
Here is out it works:
  • Goal of challenge: to generate 5 brand new sponsors from those who cannot afford a full one. You pay half, matching-fund donor will pay half.
  • Requirements: You cannot currently be sponsoring a student (but you CAN share and find a new sponsor!).
  • Expiration Deadline: Christmas Day, December 25th 2019.
A full five year commitment to a student's education of only US$8,000 changes lives and creates future leaders. 
 
$135 a month 
$1,600 a year 
$8,000 over 5 years
The challenge DOUBLES your commitment to a half-sponsorship.
You commit/pledge:**

 
$67.50 a month 
$800 a year 
$4,000 over 5 years

The matching-fund donor fills the other half!
YOU get credit for the sponsorship
YOU get the rewards of sponsorship 
Please share, or donate/pledge** to help us maximize the matching fund dollars available and double your donation value 🤗  $=$$

 *Jovenes Adelante's 2020 sponsorship drive overall goal is to raise sufficient funds for 25 new scholars. 
**Initial payments must be received in time to begin support of a 2020 student, by Spring of 2020. A full 5 year sponsorship is US$1600 per year, US$135 per month, or US$8,000 total. Half and full sponsorships will receive the full benefits of sponsorship.

 Get acquainted with some of our students here!

THANK YOU
Jóvenes Adelante’s New Sponsorship Campaign

Kicks Off with a Bang!
By Don Krim

As we move into the holiday season, Jóvenes Adelante (JA) is thrilled to announce an anonymous holiday gift to JA of US$8,000 for each of five years, totaling US$40,000.
The donation is unrestricted, meaning the organization is free to use the funds for any purpose. “The unrestricted grant will go to our new Friends of Jóvenes Adelante Fund, designed for unrestricted use,” Executive Director Angie Argüelles said. “The board will choose to invest it in our new endowment fund or fund students or pay staff—whatever the board feels is the best use of the money.”

Equally exciting, the anonymous donor wants to encourage potential donors who might not be able to afford the US$1,600 per year cost of being a sponsor. To that end, the donor is offering a challenge grant for up to another US$4,000 per year—five new $800 “half” sponsorships—for each of five years, or a total of US$20,000.

“Unlike the unrestricted gift, the challenge grant is based on the organization securing pledges for up to five half-sponsorships for 2020 from anyone who is not already an active sponsor,” Argüelles explains. “The deadline for the challenge is Christmas Day, December 25. Merry Christmas, Jóvenes Adelante!”
New sponsors must pledge annual or monthly payments totaling US$800 for five years, and the anonymous donor will match those donations dollar-for-dollar each year, up to US$20,000. The sponsors of record will be assigned a student and receive all the benefits of sponsorship. Jóvenes Adelante never commits to a student until pledges are secured, so 2020 sponsorship initial payments must be made by the spring to coordinate with student selection of the new incoming class.

“I’m fortunate I can give back and hopefully in this way give an extra nudge to others to support this organization and its students,” the anonymous donor’s message said. “The greatest reward of being fortunate is looking around and deciding what means the most to me for the longer term prospects of San Miguel and its local communities. For me, that is education—it is a no-brainer. Open doors for these kids who work so hard to get so far on so little, and with a little added luck, they will succeed and prosper in constructive ways for their kids and families.”

Jóvenes Adelante unlocks a radically more expansive future for the youth of San Miguel de Allende by easing financial barriers to higher education and by developing life and leadership skills.
