Over the last 10 years, Common Ground has been building a diverse, powerful constituency. We are developing the capacity of everyday people to become leaders in our communities. It is hard work, it takes time, and it takes money! But conversation by conversation, action by action, we are building the kind of constituency needed to ensure families have the resources they need to thrive. We cannot do it alone! 

Our campaign goal is $20,000, and we hope that you will be able to make a contribution. Your generosity will make a difference in your community by allowing us to continue in our work. We need concerned neighbors like you to contribute to our success! 

We know you have a shared interest in this work and want to do all you can to help your communities thrive. What better way than by helping people have a voice to make change!
