We want to express our sincere gratitude that your interest and support, as part of our distinguished alliance of religious, academic, political and civic leaders has enabled the Federation to make a significant contribution to peacebuilding in the United Kingdom and beyond.
With your continued help UPF UK intends to expand this precious work during 2021/22 and in particular to develop valuable projects in the following areas: parenting, combating violence against women, supporting Young Achievers, launching a nationwide Youth Service project, promoting an Arabic textbook for Character Education in Palestine and helping disadvantaged girls in Pakistan to access education.
We will be actively seeking to raise funds for each of these projects from all possible sources and keep you informed as each project develops. However, it is increasingly difficult to obtain funding to maintain our fixed expenses including staff and office costs. We are therefore requesting Ambassadors for Peace and our close supporters to consider making a regular monthly gift to UPF.
Recognising that we all have different means and available capacity we are suggesting a variety of different levels of donation from which to choose:
£10 per month from 200+ Bronze donors
£20 per month from 40+ Silver donors
and for those who are able to invest more to accelerate UPF’s development:
£50 per month from 10 to 20 Gold donors
£100 per month from 5 to 10 Platinum donors
Each of these four levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) will be recognised on a special donor’s lists on our website and through regular update e-letters from our Secretariat.
Please feel free to contact us directly should you need to discuss this further.
