5 Feel-Good Reasons to be Charitable This Year

This holiday season, I want to share with you some of my
favorite year-end reasons to give to Northrop. I challenge you to not feel
great about giving!

1. Give a gift, get a gift. You have until
December 31 to make a donation and in return receive the gift of a tax benefit
on April 15. All gifts to Northrop are completely tax-deductible, which makes
giving feel twice as good!

2. Instant gratification. While so many
things in December require endless hours of planning, shopping and travel,
giving a gift to Northrop takes only a few minutes and a few clicks of your
mouse. My favorite part... you can make your gift while wearing slippers and
pajamas. Who knew it was so easy to feel so good!  

3. Share the warm fuzzies. Remember the
feeling of opening the perfect gift? That's the same feeling Northrop staff
gets every time a new contribution comes in. Let's make them feel warm and
fuzzy every day until the end of the year!

4. It works every time. Computers crash and
cell phones drop calls, but giving to Northrop is always guaranteed. We put
your money where it matters most-on the stage and in the community with
world-class artists and meaningful outreach to students. So, rest easy and feel
good about your smart investment!

5. You are important and appreciated. In a
world where it can feel like our efforts often go unrecognized, the most
important reason I can think to give to Northrop is that your support is not
just recognized but cherished. We wouldn't be here without you, wouldn't even
want to be here without you. Give us an excuse to remind you how valued you
are!

are you waiting for? Make your gift here and start feeling good today!
