September, 2019 marks 25 years of service to families of missing persons from Community United Effort (CUE), a silver lining to scores who have been recovered, reunited, and are resting with their family.
We are excited to embark on the next 25 years of our organization by announcing the launch of the Community Hero Initiative to assist us in our mission to find the missing and advocate for their families.
Between now and September, 2020, our “Silver Jubilee” year, supporters who sign up to give $25 (or more) every month to CUE Center for Missing Persons will receive the special designation as a “Community Hero” with recognition on our website, social media, events and annual conference, unless you prefer to remain anonymous. We want the world to know about your commitment to the issue of missing persons and how much we appreciate your contribution.
What are the advantages of a monthly donation?
- Nonprofits like CUE Center for Missing Persons benefit from monthly giving because the regularity of revenue allows us to plan expenses and fundraising campaigns more effectively and efficiently.
- Many potential donors are simply not in a position to make a large donation and may not give at all because of that fact. Example: If only 100 new donors commit to a mere $10 per month for one year it will earn $12,000 for the organization! One $25 donation will provide a meal for 2 searchers who donate their time, travel away from home, and work to find a missing loved one.
You can register to become a Community Hero through our website Donate page and selecting “make this a monthly donation.” You do not have to have a PayPal account to use this service. Other options are to use your credit card through PayPal, or if you prefer, send a monthly check directly to Community United Effort (CUE), PO Box 12714, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405.
Donors do not have to be affiliated with CUE, in fact, we want to reach out beyond the organization to corporate sponsors or interested individuals and philanthropists, so please share with your network or send us suggestions.
If you can’t quite do $25, don’t worry about that, every little bit helps! Consider giving $10 or $15 each month, or whatever you feel you can give. Your gifts are greatly appreciated!
