You’re probably getting a lot of emails right about now from causes that you’re tuned into, reminding that you only have until 11:59 pm to make a donation for year-end tax purposes. While I am also asking you to give to Cardborigami as 2018 winds down, here are some reasons why we're different than the other appeals in your inbox:

For a limited time, if you give any amount greater than $150 and are in the LA area, you will get one of our white, showroom model shelters as a THANK-YOU gift!! These are perfect for play and/or art-making with kids of all ages, and come with fun peek-a-boo windows on both ends. For more details, see our current holiday sale on eBay, and spread the word!! Retail purchases will also benefit our general fund (though are not tax deductible).

A number of our field-use shelters will soon be going to aid in disaster recovery for the wildfires that have again ravaged our home state of California this fall. In the same spirit as our action for the 2017 Thomas Fire, I am ensuring that local organizations working with vulnerable populations in the impacted communities will put Cardborigamis to direct, life-rebuilding use. Without the generosity of donors like you (it means so much especially if you are able to set a monthly auto-give amount!), we could not afford as a volunteer-run organization to sustain our shelter production and connect them to where they are needed. In the new year, you will see the difference that your contribution will make via individual stories that we’ll be sharing.

Thank you in advance for your generous donation and, as always, for your continued support. On behalf of our dedicated Board and myself, we wish you a New Year filled with renewal, hope and resilience!
