Dear Friends,
This year, Touchstones has a special opportunity to raise an additional $250,000 in an extraordinary match from the Still Water Foundation of Austin, TX.
It is the Touchstones Board of Directors’ honor and pleasure to ask every friend, current donor, and prospective donor to participate in this challenge. To qualify for this match, we must raise an initial $250,000 in full by 12/31/2025. Every dollar you give makes it possible for the Touchstones staff and trained volunteers to engage people in discussion programs that build self-confidence, enhance active listening, strengthen reflective thinking, and yield collaborative leaders. Every day, we help educators, students, and members of our communities build the essential skills needed for success in school and work and as engaged members of a democratic and civil society.
Thank you in advance for giving generously!
Noelle Richmond, Touchstones Board Vice-Chair and Chair of the Fundraising Committee
